I have had a few days in Williamsburg, and it is clearly Spring just a little sooner here than in Michigan. I noticed how good it was to feel the warmth of Sunshine. I sat outside to get some work done today, and the combination of warmth and brightness really does something to the mind and soul.
I found myself noticing the budding and in-bloom trees. I could smell the flowers as I walked the pathways, and I felt the hope of sprin
g awaken more deeply within me. I am grateful to have experienced this, and I am eager to live amidst the coming spring in my own hometown.
There is something that happens on vacation in how I notice the birds. I think they have more variety of birds in vacation spaces, but I am committed to paying a bit more attention at home. Between the Eagles and the Vultures, the song of the cardinal, and the Owl call, there is so much variety to tune into.
I am not sure why every year I am surprised by the beauty in the Springtime. It has come around every year I have been alive. And still, tonight, at the end of a beautiful Spring day, I am ready to return home to await the arrival of Spring in my own backyard.
May the sun warm you, and the beauty of new life in the budding trees and blooming flowers bring you hope this Spring season!
Blessed be His name!
