What an outstanding Spring we have seen. This year's blossoming seems to have a greater power and beauty than any I have recently seen. What a gift, in the midst of an election cycle in Pennsylvania that has brought unusual attention to us as potential voters. Each candidate has blossomed with words of promise and new life for our country. We prefer the testimony of new life that God's hand has brought in the plant life of our region.
Perhaps you have not felt that promise in your own life. Like the plants of the earth, root yourself in God's word. Devote yourself to sinking nourishment from the very creator of all life. Seek the water of life which flows from our Lord and nourishes us well. We have been promised abundant life. Not one full of things, but one in which the Lord supplies all that we need.
Maybe I am enjoying spring more this year, maybe it's more beautiful than ever, maybe it's more gorgeous in the face of all that is lacking in our world, whatever the reason, I give thanks that Jesus walks with us and allows us to be his disciples, doing the greater works that he has commissioned for us to perform.
