Slippery Springtime September
Mood: Happy/Tired/Thankful
Listening to: My husband playing the piano
To catch a rainbow, to catch a moment, to carch the essence of Sprintime.!! The awakening of life from the frozen cold soil with such colours only a Heavenly Artist could supply. As the sap begins to flow again through the trees and shrubs bringing forth the blossoms of the wattle, ornamental plum, peach, jasmin and all the fruit trees. Daffodils, snowdrops and jonquils all dancing in the breeze releasing their fragrance to delight the senses. The heady perfumes ride the wind drifts causing a sweet second, a delicious moment captured and grasped with a hunger for the energizing of the warmth of a caressing sunshine, that confirms the re emergence of life.
How rapidly has our September slipped through our grasp. If only we could catch time and hold on to these glorious days of spring. Such a special time of year!! Watching new birth, so awe inspiring and wonderful. It fills the heart with a humbling gratitude for God given life. Without God there is no life!! It is through His all sustaining power we exist and continue to do so.
Every time we pick a flower and take a deep breath of its scent we should realize it was created for our pleasure as an act of love by our compassionate, longsuffering, merciful God. There was a lonely ache in His majestic, loving heart for companionship, so He created us to fulfil His need.
But the subtlety of the serpent ensnared the beautiful woman and stole her allegience, which brought about the beginning of death and ever since He has been providing forgiveness for all who would appreciate and accept His gift of Life.
The world has somewhat to offer, albeit temporary and shallow. But nothing can compare with a peaceful and concsience free relationship with One who can wash us and cleanse us from our hidious selfish sins. His being the Calvary Substitute, has made it all possible for us to be kept under His Banner of Love. This protects us and saves us from the heineous fiend whose desire is but to destroy.
Sprintime being an earthly revelation of new life each year, is but a poor example, of the beautiful new life available to all who will come to drink freely of the River of Life, which springs forth from the eternal rainbow encircled Throne. Where the eternal Majesty awaits the completion of His santifying, purifying process of redeeming His Bride.
