~ The Blessings of Spring ~

By Deborah Ann

~ The Blessings of Spring ~

There are many blessings,
that each new Spring brings
you can see it bloom about
and hear the song it sings.

With winters bleakness over,
and brighter days ahead
comes promises of new life
Springtime loves to spread.

As God unfolds the flowers,
and their buds begin to show
He gives to us the assurance
grace in our hearts will grow.

He sends us the robin’s song,
with the promise to provide
a shelter under His mighty wing
where in His love we can abide.

He melts the snowy covers,
and sends the refreshing rain
sprinkling us with His mercies
to heal winter’s ache and pain.

God’s given to all His Son,
to shed upon us a new light
and the real blessing of Spring . . .
is keeping Jesus in our sight!

Song of Solomon 2: 11-12

“For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and
gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the
time of the singing of birds is come, and the
voice of the turtle is heard in our land;”

2 Samuel 23:4

Spring’s Treat ~

Springtime is,
such a treat . . .
rays of hope
now daily greet.

Sunny days,
now on the rise
fragrance tickles
nose and eyes

Spring’s melody,
ears now hear
the song it sings
now in full gear.

Spring brings.
such delight
bathing souls
in healing light.

Springtime is,
such a treat . . .
promising to all
a warm retreat!

Matthew 24:32

“Now learn a parable of the fig tree;
When his branch is yet tender,
and putteth forth leaves, ye know
that summer is nigh:”

Sticky Note to God 04.01.16

On the Eaves of Winter ~

On the eaves of winter,
hangs depression and gloom
where my thoughts drip of Spring
and the sights of its bloom.

I can hardly wait,
for these cold days to be gone
so I can rise with the robin
and listen to Springtime’s song.

On the dawn of Spring,
are the shadows of new life
putting an end to the bitter chill
and the ache of winter’s strife.

Spring is just around the corner
but I’m not sure if I can wait
and I pray every day to God . . .
“Oh, please don’t let Spring be late!”
