"God, Trees and New Beginnings"
“A change of season is about as routine as it gets. Best I know, it has hapened four times a year, like clockwork, as long as humans have been able to keep track of such things. But each time winter yields to spring, each time summer whispers to us that fall will soon arrive, nature is telling us a story. Nature is telling us the story of a God who is always creating, always remaking, forever crafting new beginnings. No matter how dry the sultry dog days of summer, no matter how bitter the winter death, new beauty, new life is always coming. It is only a matter of time….With God and with God’s people there will always be a new season, where life is infused and fruit blossoms….Jesus came to allow us to begin again.” Winn Collier author of “Restless Faith”

thank you for sharing. I am going to check it out. I have a rock heart collection also. I thought that was weird that we both do.

I’ll have to check that site out. Thanks for the link…well…the url.
If you want to link just type this:
(a href=”www.radiantmag.com”)Radiant Magazine(/a)
Except you’ll want to replace the () with <>. If I’d used the proper tags you wouldn’t see the code, just the link…hence the () instead of the <>.
Clear as mud?

Thanks for visiting my blog today!
That is a beautiful quote. There is so much truth and beauty in nature if we only take time to see it. The few times I’ve been outside lately and seen buds swelling on trees and green shoots pushing through the soil havve been encouraging to me as the past several months have definitely been a winter season in my life. I need to be reminded that spring will come. It always does.
Thanks.
