Finally! Here it is! Do you realize how long we have been waiting for a day like this? It is 70 degrees and beautiful. Today is well worth the sniffles and sneezes that my usual spring allergies are already providing. To be honest, I was losing hope that today would ever come. I cannot remember a winter where I have been so eager to see signs of Spring. It got cold in mid-November and just never relented until now. Yet today reminds me that no matter how long winter is, spring will come.
I wonder how many of us suffer through other long winters that have nothing to do with the weather. Those times when things get bleak cold, drab, and we lose hope of life and warmth ever returning. Let today remind us that spring is always coming. As bleak as things may look, new life is yet possible. Do not lose hope, do not ever give up. Resurrection is more than possible, it is a reality.
