Friday Pretties


Snow melting.  Sunshine.  A hint of Spring in the damp cold.  This is my Friday Pretty.  Slender green shoots straining out of the earth through the dead leaves of last fall.  A message from God today that there is always something going on even when we can't see it.  After a long winter, after a long season, He is still at work growing something good outdoors, as well as, inside us.  I was reminded of this verse:

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

The forecast predicts more snow, but I will hold on to what is coming and marvel at what is going on under it all.  Blessings!

    Amen Renee. :o)
    What a beautiful sight. Everything looks so dead here and yet so much lingers deep with in the roots and in only a few months, the trees and bushes will be full of life ... that we can see. :o)
    Have a wonderful weekend my friend!
    Sincerely, Trish

    A BEAUTIFUL sight! I need to go check my garden (now that I can actually see the ground!) and see if anything is happening out there!
