When it's Springtime in the Rockies ............... ummm, it's not springtime here, and my toes are freezing!
But it's always wonderful to have a look at the wonderful gifts of nature which we receive! Examine this beautiful flower . It started off as an ugly little bulbous item; was placed into stinking soil and sprinkled with some white granules and watered every now and again. Oh, not to forget plenty of hope and visions of the magnificent creation that it would perhaps one day be.
Suddenly a little greenish thing begins to peep out of the soil, and next morning you see a little point of something ... a promise of something mysterious! You go your merry way and forget all about it till you see the beginnings of some leaves. The bud pushes itself out of the ground at an alarming rate, and before you know, you wake up and see this gift of nature evolving from the safe enclosure of the protective leaves!
The wait was worthwhile! Life is very much the same. Things start of by being dark and mysterious. We get bombarded with things unknown and unpleasant to us ... but there is always a Hand which feeds and nurtures us from day to day, till we blossom into some exquisite being.
