Sunrise And The Beginning Of A New Day!

The sun is rising here on Long Island's south shore this morning. The temperatures are headed into the 50's. The earth is warming and a variety of crocus and snow drops will open again when the sun hits them. The fish in my backyard pond are swimming around, slowly. Red Winged Blackbirds were at the feeders at dawn. The grass is turning green. The trees' buds are swelling. Spring is a week away but for all intended purposes it is here! It is a wondrous time! It reminds of a song we sang as kids:

What a wondrous time is spring

When All the trees are budding,

The birds begin to sing

The flowers start their blooming

That's how is with God's love,

Once you experience it,

You want to sing,

Its Fresh like Spring.

You want to pass it on.

In light of yesterday's devastating earthquake/ tsunami our thoughts go to those suffering today even as many of reading this post are enjoying this day. Pray for the families who lost loved ones. Give through a reputable relief organization like Samaritan's Purse. Hold those people close to your thoughts today. Pass on God's Love!
