Hello spring! When one looks at the calendar we observe that the spring equinox, which occurs on March 20th, is fast approaching. Think spring! After a long winter, we welcome the change of season. Easter and thoughts of Easter bring joy to our hearts. Spring and Easter seem to be synonymous. The days become longer and the sun's work becomes evident. There is a renewal of life as the birds sing their melodies. The March snowmelt will transform creeks into flowing rumbling song. Yes, spring will be here!

As we look forward to Easter I share with you a prayer of Peter Marshall written many years ago. "We thank thee for the beauty of this day. And the glorious message that all nature proclaims. The Easter lilies with their wax and throats, eloquently singing the good news. The birds so early this morning, impatient to begin their song. Every flowering tree, shrub, and flaming bush, a living proclamation from Thee. Open our hearts that we may hear it too. And Thy presence restore our faith, our hope, and our joy. Grant to our spirits refreshment, rest, and peace. Maintain within our hearts an unruffled calm, an unbroken serenity that knows storms of life shall ever be able to take from us.

Warm Thoughts: A bird sings it's song as if to say, "Thank you, Lord for this beautiful day." May you have many warm thoughts. Just a thought: Easter will soon be here!
