New Birth


I sank gratefully into the prayer window, if only briefly. As I took the time to look, I noticed the forsythia in bloom, beautifully in bloom. The daffodils scream spring with such exuberance and beauty, that I hadn’t even noticed the forsythia.

Sometimes we are so focused on the obvious beauty that we miss the more reticent. Today, Lord, open my eyes to see the quiet as well as the prominent displays of your glorious handiwork.

Spring, the time of new birth. May God bless this day and all those who are being born into this glorious creation today.
