Happy First Day of Spring!
A huge chunk of ice just fell off the roof outside my office window and the crash scared me enough to spill my coffee!
Don’t despair because of the snow and ice and the low temperatures – the sun did come up before classes started, and it will not set until after 7 pm! Days are getting longer, the sunshine actually warms us, and the robins have returned, so spring is here!
Enjoy the start of spring, even if you need to wear gloves and a hat to do it. The warm weather will arrive soon.
Peace, my friends,
Alicia
Gracious God,
Thank you for the gifts of the seasons,
for the different blessings each one brings.
For spring’s new life and fresh beginnings.
For summer’s warmth and abundant growth.
For autumn’s colors and plentiful harvest.
For winter’s cold and stark beauty.
Help us to see the blessings in each season of the year,
in each season of our lives.
Open our eyes and our hearts to the diverse joys you give us.
Amen
