Spring

Greetings!

Spring is in the air...finally!

Although we haven't had much of a winter compared to other parts of the country. What we have had has been more than enough for me...

But spring is finally here. This is one of my favorite times of the year...not only was I born in the spring, but it is also a time of refreshing. A time when all the old "stuffy" stuff is being transformed and renewed. I like that. I like being able to start over, and I like the fact that God built in a do-over for us. He knew we were going to need it. Paraphrasing what the Apostle Paul said...we want to do right, but it's just not in us. We keep doing the thing we don't want to do.

Then along came grace. God's grace is sufficient for us. His grace covers all the wrongs we do and even the ones we haven't done, but we have surely thought about. God's grace says, "I understand you better than you know, and I will keep working in you until you get it right.

In the midst of all of life's little ups and downs, is God's perfect grace...just waiting for the opportunity to show up. His grace molds us and shapes us and transforms us. We can no longer do the things we used to do...and guess what...we don't even want to. We have been changed...renewed...just like spring.

Now it's time to clear out the old and get ready for the new...

Until next time...

Be blessed
