Mar. 21, 2007 - Thoughts of Spring
Spring is when the sun peeks out
and temps us all to play.
Spring is when the boys and girls
bring flowers and brighten mama's day.
Yesterday my children were bringing me the flowers from outside in to give to mama. It was so sweet and I love those little thoughts and chipper voices "I love you mama." They make such lovely memories. What a wonderful way God has in showing His love for us. However, I was busy checking my email when they brought them to me so I just laid them down on my desk and proceeded to forget all about the flowers.
How often does God try and show His love to me and I just say "Oh that's nice, dear" and lay it aside for what ever seems more important at the moment? I was saddened by this thought this morning when I had to throw the wilted presents away from my sweet, thoughtful children. I am so glad that the Father loves me still and never throws away my thoughts of praise or worship as they are just like those sweet, fragrant flowers that the children bring to us. Take some time today to just worship the Lord and tell Him how much you love him and remind yourself of His amazing love and grace for you!
Thank you, Father, for showing me a glimpse of your love. Show me more of your love for me as I continue to seek you. Help me to appreciate even the small things as you give me this fresh revelation of your love.
Amen.
