There's no time like Spring to better consider the restoring work of Creation by our God. Today was one of those grand days outside in the Midwest. Grilled steaks outdoors, watched and listened as 2 trumpeter swans flew overhead and landed on our neighbors' pond, noticed the buds on the flowering crabs, took a moonlight/starlit walk.... yippee!! As the days lengthen with light, and as the earth warms up and is pregnant with new life, I am reminded that God is all about this restoration business. He is faithful and will not cease this mission until His light has entirely swallowed darkness and all of Creation abounds with new life.
The sunrises and sunsets have been particularly beautiful, too. How cool to see those trumpeter swans...thanks for this great reminder of the tangibility of restoration... it's right in front of us in spring, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWhat an extreme difference the next few days have been, huh?! Cold rain and enormous snow flakes that have again covered our yard and driveway in white! A good example of our lives somedays, I think.... one step forward, two steps back. :)
