Can you believe Summer is right around the corner? Yes, it's time to say goodbye to Spring 2019. Spring officially arrived on Wednesday, March 20th, almost three months ago. Time flies like a jet plane!
Spring, that special season of renewal, regeneration, and restoration. It was the time when the snows of winter began to melt away and the frozen ground began to release its icy grip. Tulips popped up and, almost over night, blossomed in all their brilliance, resilience, and public announcement that "hope springs eternal."
People began to pull together their spring playlist(s) to celebrate the promise of the season, to celebrate the joy of new life! Everywhere you looked, nature proclaimed to all who may have had any doubt that Spring had, most definitely, arrived!
Spring was a keen reminder that so many things that may have appeared to be lifeless were only lying dormant, quietly, steadily preparing to come back to life! Spring mirrors the message of Resurrection Sunday, and is the reason that season holds such special significance for me.
Hoping Spring 2019 was your Season of Personal Renaissance, Renewal, and Rising far above everything which had been holding you back. New Spring, New Life, New You!
I'm entering Summer 2019 with this thought in mind - Jeremiah 29:11.
Hoping You had a Happy, Prosperous, and Brilliant Spring 2019!
And God's Abundant Favor & Blessings to You this Summer 2019! ~ Kenneth Lillard
