One morning, while away, I woke around noon. When your hostess works, and others slumber, it is easy to also rest the day away.
My cup at my late breakfast featured love and one passage caught my eye. “Love comforts like sunshine after rain”. For some weird reason, I felt love surround me and so virtually I began walking the home-made path behind my daughter’s home. Beautiful cedars, small pines, tall bluestem grass and visions of flowers to come filled my mind. I slowly came back to finish my breakfast, but it was easy to check the bird feeder from the table. No bird was there but I knew it was too early for their afternoon feeding.
On my way to dress for the day, I found myself in awe of what a beautiful world God has made for us. But what a greater gift he has given us. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son…whomever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
March has come and I am home again. North winds blow and snow covers the ground but we turn to each other for the outpouring of love, then April and the cross will loom on the horizon.
We will hold our loved ones in our hands, maybe visit foreign lands, begin again to enjoy companionship of old and new friends and relatives. But we will remember the promise of everlasting life as we once again watch the world return to green and flowers and trees begin to grow welcoming the warmth. Christ The Lord is Risen.
