Sunday Scripture...

Promises Fulfilled...

Thanks to Kes and her requirement to "visit the outdoors" at
regular intervals throughout the day, I caught the start of a
magnificent, annual flower show here at Brynwood.

We planted a magnolia tree in our front yard about five
years ago, and since it came to live with us, it has thrived.
In a few short years, it has nearly doubled in height,
and the flowers are the size of dinner plates!

Yesterday, I captured the first blossom of the year to share
with you...along with one of the unopened buds.
Our tree is full of these buds, so it will offer
its ongoing gifts over the next few weeks.

Spring is a series of promises fulfilled.
Nature's gifts of new life.
Fragrances that bring to mind years gone by.
Be it blossoms or babies, it's
God's proof that life goes on.

I hope that today, you find your own promise fulfilled.

He is Risen...

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
By His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a
living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead.
1 Peter 1.3
