Spring

Ah spring! The season of new life and new hope! Everything seems a bit brighter in the spring whether it be the landscape or the attitude. I love watching things come back to life in the spring. In the mountains when we rake back the dead leaves and plants we reveal the new plants beginning to rise. The aspen trees start to take on a greenish hew after they lay their white seeds upon the ground like a warm fuzzy snow. The blue birds come back to nest in the trees and the chipmunks start scavenging the ground for the seeds the chickadees left behind. Flowers bloom, the sky turns blue, and it is beautiful. The sheep begin to lamb at this time, when we would go out to milk the cow every morning and evening we would check on the sheep to see if they had any lambs. For a couple weeks we would find some new lambs cuddled up next to each other or trying to walk almost every day. Watching the new life that spreads over the land, the new plants, and the new babies. I just don’t know how it all could come about without God and I don’t think anyone could ever convince me that it can.
