I do love the Springtime. I love the world coming alive from its winter slumber. And watching the trees in our yard go from completely bare, to redbuds, to tiny leaves to "a tree." At first it can't happen fast enough and then suddenly there is a rush of growth as the world warms up - and poof...there are 50 shades of green and life abounds.
It is similar with our Spring schedules...we get in a routine through the winter and then some programs begin to wind down - like Logos and some Bible studies, but another schedule takes over...planning for summer, getting volunteers in place for VBS, and camps, hiring interns and poof...it will be summer.
And in my family, we manage the schedule of weight training, piano lessons, Confirmation, and youth group and then Track season comes, along with band concerts, and awards ceremonies, end of the year trips, and poof...there are only 10 more days of school left!
Let us not forget, in all these busy days of Spring to give God our thanks and praise for the gift of life on this amazing creation. And to savor the moments between the busy-ness and hectic-ness for the gift that they are...evidence of life renewed and that God is steadfast in his love for us.
