The weather hear in
Michigan has been gorgeous this week.
High 70's to mid 80's for the last week.
Sleeping with the windows open each night. I got in about 50 miles on my bicycle last
week and I've had a couple of good rides already this week. Very cool!
For me spring is one
of those times that I just marvel at God's creation. Riding down the trails and seeing all of the
plants coming to life. And the smells,
oh the smells! To be riding along and
smelling the most wonderful fragrances floating on the breeze. Incredible!
I hope you will
indulge me in a trip down memory lane.
Ernie Harwell was a famous baseball announcer for the Detroit
Tigers. Every year he would start the
first broadcast of the year with the following verse from the Song of Solomon.
Song of Songs 2:11-12(KJV)
11For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is
over and gone;
12The flowers appear on the earth; the time
of the singing of birds is come,
and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
You can hear Ernie
himself right here.
To hear Ernie say
that each year meant the spring was really here!
Whether today or
some other day this spring, as you watch God's creations blossom again, take
the time to thank Him for making you part of the family and sharing this with
you.
What if you aren't
part of the family? Then look around at
the beauty of spring. Does that stir
your heart? Does that help you believe
that God exists? If so then take God at
His word when He says that He sent Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your
life. Simply ask Jesus to come into your
life. If you do that then get ready to
see your life blossom in unbelievable ways even as you watch the rest of God's
creation blossom this year!
One of the things i loved most about running was being able to just spend time in awe of God's creation. I would spend my run in prayer with God and enjoy his beaty all around me!
ReplyDeleteIn awe of God's creation is a great description of it. It's simply amazing to watch the world come to life each spring!
