I love the springtime. After a cold winter, it reminds me of all new things that can even come out through the cold. I love the chatter of birds. Something about the way they sing their melodies remind me of the beauty in this life. I love the sunshine after the spring rains. Reminding me of His warmth, through the showers that sometimes fall. I love the flowers that start to bloom in the spring. Reminding me that even after the cold winter, beauty can still bloom. I love the feel of the grass below my feet. Cushioning me in comfort. I love watching the trees as they become more vibrant and fuller. Reminding me of their strength, through the season of the winters cold.  Whenever I am overwhelmed in life; I step outside and take a deep breath, breathing in His creation. Though it is especially in the spring which carries something particularly special. For it is a reminder that even through the sometimes coldness in life or when times may feel pale and bitter; through it all, God reminds us there is still beauty to be found. Even if its around the corner, spring will come. When it does, we will feel the beauty that encompasses us. Reminding us, that just as He carries nature through the seasons, He too, will carry us.
