In the Springtime when the weather’s just right, birds sing and sing…

It is a beautiful time of the year!  I can’t pinpoint exactly what is most beautiful.  Perhaps it is the new growth on the trees, or the flowers blooming or maybe it is just the rebirth from ole man winter…or maybe it’s because it’s Turkey season?!  Anyway, have you noticed the beauty?  It is amazing how creation screams about God as a new day begins.  If it has been awhile…or maybe never…since you have quietly sat outside and experienced the beginning of a new day, then I would strongly encourage that you it try this season.  Creation seems to be so happy and energetic with each sunrise.   God gives humans each day, but creation itself begins the day with a song and a burst of excitement.  That’s not really how I begin my day!  I roll out of bed with joints popping and get a wake up call with hot water hitting my head!  Several hours later, I am ready for coherent discussions about problems and opportunities.  We have heard it said that he/she woke up on the wrong side of the bed.  In reality, our mood has nothing to do with a certain side of the bed but with the choice we made when we got up!  Nature makes the right choice.  If creation can sing His praises when they have never known His forgiveness, how much more should I when I am the one that has been changed by His presence!
