Springtime Is Here by Chad Thieman

Springtime is here bringing with it an assortment of tulips, lilies, and primrose blooms. Blossoming dogwoods and cherry blossom trees with their decorative white and light pink petals are swaying in the breeze. What an amazing time of year, full of transformation and renewal!

The birds sing together as if to celebrate life itself, doing their part to give glory and praise to the Creator of all things. Everything we behold around us is experiencing transition, and the beauty of creation is on full display.

Though the greatest transformation is not one we can view, it is rather one that occurs in the heart of humanity. Though everyone has a perception of what life is, many cannot comprehend the life God truly intended for us.

Springtime is a great reminder of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. God’s promise for the believer is far more than the Salvation of our souls through faith in His Son, it is a promise of abundant life in the here and now. This is His resurrection life living through each of us, as we live out our personal ministry in Him. Yes, every believer has a personal ministry in which we can invest our God-given desires, physical talents, and spiritual gifts into daily.

A Garden Sanctuary

Through the gates of the garden,

They walk day by day;

Among the pleasant floras,

Of their most sacred place.

It’s a sweet, scented sanctuary,

Filled with beauty and life.

A refuge from daily trials,

For the man and his wife.

It’s a paradise for their children,

To hide, dance, and play;

And a peaceful place for prayer,

In God’s bountiful showcase.

The Garden Staircase

Up the garden staircase,

They walk every afternoon;

Observing the landscape,

In colorful, splendid bloom.

Looking out across the garden,

The elderly couple gaze; Holding one another close,

As they explore this floral maze.

Hidden amidst a canopy of flowers,

The seasoned lovers reminisce;

Of the time when they first met,

Reenacting love’s first kiss.
