Reflection

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” –Pablo Neruda

Prayer

Life-giving God,

It is such a blessing to witness winter’s transformation to spring. Thank you, for the deep and vibrant magic of it all. As flowers bud and leaves unfold and the breeze starts to refresh us with fragrance of life all around. While nature’s beauty may not magically take our troubles away, it does give assurance to see your life-giving power so vividly displayed around us. Remind us that whatever we may be going through or the obstacles we face, your promise is secure: you are the one who brings life out of death, and you are on our side. In springtime’s hope we pray, Amen.
