Spring

I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of Spring. ~ Helen Keller

As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease. ~ Genesis 8:22

Weeping may stay for the night,

but rejoicing comes in the morning. ~ Psalm 30:5

No matter how long the winter, dark the night, or bitter the tears, we can rest assured that God has something good coming our way if we will hold on and wait for Him.

I'm so glad to see Spring.

We took a walk around the yard this morning and looked for flowers.

We learned about Spring

And we learned about God creating the world.

I got about 30 minutes to read this afternoon. Here's another little excerpt from this book.

"Your life becomes meaningful in proportion to the depths of the responsibility you are willing to shoulder. This is because you are now genuinely involved in making things better. You are encouraging those around you, by example and word. You are constraining the malevolence in your own hearts and the hearts of others. A bricklayer may question the utility of laying his bricks, monotonously, one after another. But perhaps he is not merely laying bricks. Maybe he is building a wall. And the wall is part of a building. And the building is a cathedral. And the purpose of the cathedral is the glorification of the Highest Good. And under such circumstances, every brick laid is an act that partakes of the divine. And if what you are doing in your day-to-day activity is not enough, then you are not aiming at the construction of a proper cathedral. And that is because you are not aiming high enough. Because if you were, then you would experience the sense of meaning in relationship to your sufficiently high goal, and it would justify the misery and limitations of your life. If you have something meaningful to pursue, then you are engrossed in life. You are on a meaningful path. The most profound and reliable instinct for meaning - if not perverted by self-deceit and sin (there is no other way to state it) - manifests itself when you are on the path of maximum virtue." pgs 134-135
