Don't you love it when the colors begin to appear and the days start getting warmer. Everything is in various shade of green. It makes me feel more alive, more willing to get out and do whatever needs to be done. The outdoors lends to many opportunities that winter months don't offer. Like taking long walks, garage sales, and so forth.
Then, on the other hand, times are tough, it seems there isn't a day goes by that there isn't some kind of bed news. Covid 19 is still on the increase. So much cancer in the world. So many natural disasters.
Having volunteered at a nursing center for 18 years, I came across death and funerals quite often. It makes a person sad to know there is so much bad in the world until we think about God and what He is doing. He says not to fear that these things will come to pass.
He says that He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is our sunshine in this world. He is our encouragement, knowing that whatever comes to pass that God has our best interest at heart. He will not harm us, but He will cradle us in His arms and protect us.
If you are feeling sad or depressed, go outside and soak up the Son, God's warmth and remember God is as near as the breath we breathe. He is the wind in the trees, He is the song in the bird. He is the hello neighbor and the smile of a loved one. He is ever present in our lives and He is the praise on our lips. Rejoice in the Lord for He is good. He is our ever present help in troubles. He is our promise for eternity. God breathes Joy, Peace and Blessing to all!
