Getting tastes of sunshine these days!  As much as I love all seasons, including the snow and rain, those warm rays bursting through the clouds in early spring have a way of pumping new life into cold toes and hearts!  Maybe that is why I love the midwest...variety is pretty much what we get!  There is lots of un-predictability within predictable seasons!  One thing we can count on is flowers!  From March to November there will be flowers!  

Life is kind of similar.  We can predict many things - some laughter, some love, some sunshine, even when it rains or storms.  Variety is guaranteed.  But we can be sure of one thing...God's promises are sure.  There is a forever.  We get to choose how we will spend it, but it is indeed real.  And no matter how much it storms on this side of it, we can count on God telling the truth.  Take hold of His truths.  This life is but a short part of the whole picture!  Embrace the bouquets of promises waiting for us.  Embrace the Son.
