" a hope fulfilled..."
The first day of spring!
Carpet of daffodils –the first day of spring (Roadkill Crossing)
Thank you, Bruce Stambaugh
“The day will come when what burdens you now will be lifted from your shoulders, when your pain will be gone, when your sorrow will be no more. It will come to you as surely as the dawn, as a promise kept, as a hope fulfilled. Nothing will stop it. Nothing will hold it back—not your past, not your current circumstances. It will come—a gentle but insistent healing, a redemption, a fresh start, a renewal of the heart—and it will change everything. This is not a prophecy, but a pattern, for mercy and forgiveness always return to find us, love always seeks us out among the crowd, and the Spirit will never relent until all her children are safe once more.”
Steven Charleston. Ladder to the Light
This is one of my favorite days of the year! I am glad to live in a part of the world where nature changes along with the seasons. The transition seasons are particularly inspirational for me, and so I welcome spring.
As winter fades, I anticipate the subtle hints of new life and rebirth. The evening sun is beginning to call me to slow my wheelchair to a quiet roll, and with that reminder comes a sense of peace and calm. The daffodils announce Spring's arrival, leading the return of buds on the trees and flowers in our gardens.
“It will come to you as surely as the dawn, as a promise kept, as a hope fulfilled.”Steven Charleston’s words describe my anticipation as the season moves from winter to spring. I am grateful for this transition.
Welcome spring! May we receive your energy as renewal. May we share this energy with all reaching out for hope and care.
