New Life

The snow and storms have all gone away and now the new life can begin.  The plants and flowers that have been trampeled on and destroyed by the winter weather make there way through the fresh soil.  We walk and marvel at the new buds on the trees, wild onions growing, all the vibrant colors of wildflowers.  We wondered if this time would ever come.  After such a long winter and many storms we come out of it and finally breathe the fresh Spring air.  
Just as a father watches his children play and the joy it brings, I can only imagine what Jesus must think when we enjoy the beauty of what Spring brings.  New Life.
We step outside the hustle and bustle of our every day life and everything just fades away.  We feel the warm sun and smell the scents that Spring brings.  You can't help but wonder how, how did He know it would bring so much joy.
We forget for a moment that life has worn us down and then there it is, that smile He has been waiting to see.  We push farther and are able to see so much more.  He knows it won't be long before all that was destroyed will be back to life and we forget the storms we have weathered.  I wonder if you have ever been there.
With every step The Father makes us stronger , we are able to help one another and we see things in a new life. The Lord is so gracious in showing us new life. He never holds back His blessings.  Even if it takes some time.
He sits back and watches how we explore and how we deal with the things that surround us.  Do you see his beauty or do you remember how bad things were.  
And when we need a hand along the way He's there to lend a hand, never taking over, just helping enough. Always being patient and understanding.  The perfect teacher.  He waits and wonders when you will call on Him.  Oh and the smile it must bringto him when we include Him in everything we say and do.

I don't think we ever will grasp how amazing, gentle, powerful and gracious He is with his people.  I do know we experience so much more with Him in our lives than without. We enjoy the simple things in life, the things that He has made for us.  Just as he brings new life to plants and flowers in the Spring, He does the same for His children. He is absolutely amazing in all he does, I wonder if you have experienced what I have.
