Spring Brings Renewal

Spring is a very special time of year. I love to see the trees slowly budding and watch them eventually form into leaves of bright green. I love to watch the flowers bloom over time, in all the various colors, no two the same. I love to watch the clouds lazily moving across the bright blue sky, helping each other along the way. I love to hear the birds chirp, squirrels nibble and creatures communicating with each other. I love to wake-up to drops of morning dew resting on blades of grass, with fluorescent sun rising in the distance. I love the pure scent of a fresh breeze as it blows through a lilac tree. I love the perfect warmth of a spring day as it touches my arms while drinking ice-tea. Spring, so relaxing, so fresh and new! I can not help but take the time to reflect as I sit back.

I reflect on both the good and the bad times. I think about all the lessons I have learned through my life, and the ones I've refused to be taught. I reflect on times with my sons, my parents, family and friends and my relationships with them. I ask myself if I have done my part to keep these relationships fresh and new.

I remember as I sit this spring, viewing God's creations, that true beauty takes time, dedication and patience. Flowers slowly bloom, clouds slowly accumulate, buds slowly become leaves, the sun slowly rises and sets, all in their own perfect timing. The same holds true with God's human creations. I try to apply the observations of God's creations, to this life of my own. True beauty takes time, dedication and patience.

I am a piece of His creation. Made by Him and for Him. I am His light, yet sometimes still too dim, I am His voice, yet still too often speak my own words, I am His eyes and desire purity to see, I am His hands, still too often my own hands write for me, I am His ears and am careful about what I hear. I strive to prioritize, be persistent in the positive and press on toward the perfection I will know one day when I am in my heavenly home. Spring, so relaxing, so fresh and new, what better time to evaluate the beauty inside you?
