What's been goin' on with the weather this winter? I still can't get over the 80 degrees every day this week in Kansas. Really? I know it's lifted spirits and helped many of us think of an early summer. Even the trees and the flowers are confused. They are blooming in droves. Yellow is the color of Spring, I think.
Yellow daffodils and forsythia spindles sprout up from the brown winter barrenness. Bright sunshine sparkles through the branches ushering in warmth and promise of new life. Spring surprises abound tucked away in every corner of God's 80 acres.
"And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these. But if God arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:28-30, 34)
So with all the said, it truly is amazing to view the intricacies of a simple daffodil, watching its delicate petals flutter in the breezes. It only blooms where it is planted - it's at its very best when still rooted and grounded. Much like I need to be.
