The semi cool breeze blew in through our window as the birds sang their melodious songs. Outside my window the grass is growing in its bright green color, as pretty yellow dandelions scatter about. Some flowers start to appear and my flowering trees make their spring debut. My neighbor pedals past my house joyfully on her bike. A mother walks her baby in a stroller. Kids play joyfully about outside. My youngest and I play ball with our dog. My oldest heads to the local park with friends. It is truly spring, and summer is right around the bend. After a cold winter, with a generous amount of snow, though beautiful in its own right; it is nice to see this next season. I am grateful to God for it. For this next season of beauty. God truly is the greatest artist, offering much in all that He creates. Friend, may we step outside, look at God’s beautiful creation. May we give Him thanks for the beauty that He has created, and the joy that comes from it.
