The sky was navy blue and Orion appeared to say hello.
The sun was gone and it was 8:53pm.
I walked down the driveway. I could only see it because I knew where it was at.
Crickets, an occasional horse-cough and my flip-flops were the only noises heard.
The only lights were those of the stars and the blinking tower across the road.
As I stood in the curve of the driveway and listened to whooper-wills and looked at the stars, everything was saying the same thing:
God has brought about spring once again!
The air smelled like grass and freshly plowed dirt ready for corn. My arms welcomed the 70 degree breeze that floated by. My feet were happy to show off their pink toes in my flip-flops.
Spring is coming!
Winter is ending!
God's voice is drifting through the woods saying,
"Wake up. It is time to dance and sing...for me!"
Thank you, Lord, that spring is coming! Thank you for the hope it gives us! Thank you for your faithfulness to us and the beautiful gift of spring!
