Drippings of Grace

Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. (Psalms 85:11)

The boys and I have been watching for signs that Spring is coming. While the rest of the country is probably watching the daffodils bloom and the grass turn green, here in the north, we have to look much more carefully this month to notice if she's coming or not. Watching for little inklings of newness and trying to see her little offerings of new life help us look past the murky rivers carrying away winter's harshness and the fields flooded with winter's melting blanket.

I discovered this nature calendar at one of my favorite reading spots, and we are enjoying busying ourselves with the discoveries of March. Apparently, spring is just around the corner. She's coming and we couldn't be happier.

Spring always comes, each morning brings new mercies and new surprises, and there are signs of new life everywhere.

Today we join with all nature in manifold witness to His great faithfulness.

The geese have made their way home.

The red-winged blackbird sways amongst the cattails once again.

The deer have ventured out from the safety of their winter nests.

The farmers are preparing the fields.

The rare species known as tree-climbers have made their way into the branches.

And all of creation is waking up.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
