Just For Today . . . Melt Heart's Winter Away . . .5/5/09

 
Dear Holy Friends,
    Somewhere in days and days of cool temperatures and heavy rains spring has been washed away. While our deficit in rainfall from the winter appears to be resolving itself in a week, we are all suffering from spring depravation. And even as I sit at my desk and look out at the grey, I still see the lovely signs of God's earth renewal. How thankful I am He does that in our hearts too.
 
In His Grip, Chandra
 
Melt Heart's Winter Away
 
hummingbirds at the feeder
yellow finch on the tree
robins sitting on nests
mockingbird singing to me
baby's breath bush in bloom
apple blossoms already spent
goslings swimming on the pond
signs winter finally went
songbirds welcome the morn
peepers chirping at night
new flowers open daily
reaching for the sunlight
while fickle in temperature
spring is certain in its beauty
God's message through nature
His perfect continuity
is winter holding you tight
refusing to let go
God offers you a spring
to melt away your heart's snow

Hey, Chandra!

I sure hope you're the same "In His Grip" I know from christianwriters.com, because I just got honored with the "One Lovely Blog Award" and now I'm passing the honor to you!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) the post will show up in 777 Peppermint Place (http://lindayezak.wordpress.com) and you can copy the award from there.

You're not required to play along, but if you'd like to, here's what you do:

Accept the award, post it on your blog with the name and blog link of the person who gave you the award.

Pass the award along to 10 other blogs you’ve newly discovered (or some of your favorites). Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

Like I said, you're not required to do any of the above, but I wanted to tell you your blog is mentioned in tomorrow's post.

If you have any question, let me know!

Linda
