There are lots of things that spring brings to my mind. Random things mind you. Things that are of significance but maybe not of extreme importance. From the abyss, that is my brain, mind or soul here's a list, random and perhaps ridiculous. Respond by adding to it if you wish.
Springing to mind here in Spring"
Leaves, learning to ride a bike with only "coaster brakes", planting, transplanting, running a marathon, Easter Sunrise service and Easter dinner. Worms, plowed fields, packets of corn, bean, gourd, flower seeds, rain, floods, tornados, tomatoes, ticks, chiggers, poison ivy, English ivy, invasive plants, Vacation Bible School, Spring Break, wearing shorts on the first warm day, getting a short haircut. Mowing grass, planting grass, listening to spring bird songs, stomping down molehills in the yard, making mountains out of molehill issues. New movie releases, Memorial Day, July 4th, summer vacation, baling hay, longer days, clear starry nights, first lightning bugs, popcicles, Kool Aid, bluebird houses, bluebird days, tulips, iris, dandelions, nettle, magnolias, naps in the sunshine. Newborn kittens, calves, colts, puppies and baby birds fallen from their nests. Places that are now shady and cool mornings with warm afternoons. Trout fishing, bass fishing, canoeing, camping in the back yard. Goodbye to winter, frost and wind chill, hello to heat humidity and sweat.
Time to remember the goodness of the Lord as the earth shows his springtime glory and time to show your love to those around you.
Acts of random kindness and peace...they are not random!
