Echoing from my other blog at "Moments"...another Spring! The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, and it is warm here in sunny Southern California! Today people all over the world celebrate new life and the glorious resurrection of Christ!
My husband and I drove down to San Diego to celebrate our anniversary this past week, and we noticed colorful wild flowers had replaced the charred hillsides, where not too long ago they were blackened and desolate after the firestorms had destroyed all life there.
It was a welcome and cheerful contrast from our previous trip to one of our favorite destinations, Coronado Island.
Where there had been dead trees and plantlife, flowers had sprung up, and the hillsides had burst into brilliant, vinbrant color! I felt like singing! It was a reminder that God put there...to bring to mind how He makes all things new! Christ conquered death, and offered life, to all who would receive it!
Spring! A glorious picture of God's gift of life!
