Ok, I know in the rest of the world it probably really feels like spring is coming, but it hasn't felt that way in CO until the last few days. It has been BEAUTIFUL and I remember why I like living here during the spring and summer months. I was pleasantly surprised when I went outside last week and found the stalks of my roses GREEN and little tulip heads poking out of the soil. YAY!!!! We are bound to get more snow, but I'm clinging to the promise of new life in my yard. It will get warm again!
On another note about new life...I'm stealing this from one of my favorite blogsites. It made me smile because of the new little life living in our house.
"Here is a sweet, fragrant mouth to kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God; and the body in which it dwells is worthy all it will cost, since it is the abode of a kingly tenant. I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all, to whom, while I minister in God's name, I will make a willing sacrifice of what little leisure for my own recreation my other darlings had left me. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to your mother's heart, welcome to her time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, her life-long prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, how wondrously blest!"
