Spring


Spring

Spring has begun
when songbirds come
and hatch their young.

Spring has begun
when birds feed their young ones
just caught earthworms – yum!

Spring has begun
when you hear bees hum
under the beaming sun.

Spring has begun
when laundry's hung
out in the open.

Spring has begun
with fresh new scents sprung
or when skunks surprise someone.

Spring has begun
when yard work is begun,
though it feels like a ton.

Spring has begun
when flower bulbs open.
Many bringing pollen.

Spring has begun.
Earth hums
with fun.

Spring has begun.
Is any season
more welcome? None.

God has begun a good work in you
and He will bring it to completion, too,
for your life's history
plays a part in His-story.

Yes, it's true, God could have chose someone else,
but He chose you, with your one-of-a-kind help,
to be His ambassador from His family of faith
filling you with His love, joy, peace, faithfulness, and grace.

So remain strong
in the face of wrong
and let God, who has already begun a good work in you,
use you to show others His way is faithful and true.

Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up;
do you not perceive it?
I am making a way...
Isaiah 43:18-19

Being confident of this;
that he who began a good work in you
will carry it on to completion.
Philippians 1:6

We are therefore Christ's ambassadors,
as though God were making his appeal through us.
II Corinthians 5:20

The fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Galatians 5:22

Whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -
think about such things.
Philippians 4:8
