"Surprise!"

Surprises - some can be delightful and some can be dreadful, some can be big and some can be small. But God promises us, as Christians, that no matter what may come our way, he is faithful and His mercies are new each day. One of the major things about surprises is we become aggravated by them because they interrupt our schedule or agenda for the day. We become so focused on what we need to do and complete, that we leave little room for flexibility or interruptions- little room for surprises. God enjoys throwing good surprises our way, but are we so busy that we often miss His surprises? An extra-special hug from a loved-one or friend because you spent a little time with them? The smile from a fellow-shopper or neighbor who needed a helping hand? The amazing beauty of a new flower or sunset? The refreshing smell of a spring rain? The strength and encouragement that filled our soul because of an inspiring Bible study or sermon? The list goes on and on... So lighten up! Open yourselves to be flexible and on the look out for God's surprises! You may be surprised at how great they can be!

"Hello, Spring"

Gray skies, cold air, wind, short days, and freezing rain and snow are hopefully behind us. We are really ready for spring! Warm rains and breezes, sunny skies, birds returning and singing their special songs, green grass, returning growth and colors to our yards and gardens. Opening windows and feeling the fresh air circulate through the house. All the wonderful joys of spring are a great reminder to us that all things of nature and of the earth and sea, God has created for us to enjoy and experience. Look around and see, feel, and smell the intricate workings of God's creations. The greatest proof of God's existence is His creation! "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." (Psalms 19:1) Let this spring season be a reminder of what a miraculous world our Lord has created for you!
