Is This Spring?

According to the calendar Spring has arrived! Yet, after such a long, cold, snowy winter this Spring seems rather bitter and cold. Perhaps we expected more than we are getting. Then again, this is probably the most "normal" Spring I remember in a while. Unpredictable weather and temperatures go along with Spring....even ice storms occasionally. I can't help but feel sorry for the Robins, though. They cock their heads and look at me as if to say, "Is this what I came back for?"

The state of life seems to be complaint...when summer arrives I'm sure we will be longing for more Fall like temperatures again. Patience is a virtue that not many of us have in regards to weather.

"Wait patiently for the Master's arrival. Farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the Spring and Autumn rains do there slow but sure work. Be patient like that. Stay steady and strong. The Master could arrive at any time." James 5:7-8
