SPRING IS IN FULL BLOOM IN PHILLY!






Spring is in the air! The daffodils have long been blooming, the tulips are stretching towards the sun, and the azaleas are well on their way to revealing in their own magnificent way the glory of our Creator. Streets are lined with trees blooming in resplendant colours. The apple tree in the side yard is magnificently full of bloom, preaching the certainty of coming of the harvest. Sadly, the stately magnolias are weeping thier own blossoms, glorious though they were for a time.

Still, time marches on.

What a wonder that God blesses us so richly with the new growth of spring, teaching us that after the long and often gloomy winter of our lives there is coming a day when we will live in His glorious presence when all things are finally made new. Take heart, weary souls, the final rest is coming!
