Here comes Spring
Monday Morning on the way into work.. I noticed something strange. A single moth trying its hardest to get at a flood light in the parking lot. Yes, Spring is coming. Soon that moth will by joined by a thousands of tiny little annoying friends. Most will become food for something.
Today while taking my nap.. .I also noticed the return of those little chirping birds. we'll see this year if my deck is again deemed a suitable place to raise young chicks. Here's some video i post a couple of years back about those birds. (below)
One more thing.. We just got finished complaining about the snow and cold weather. Watch now as people start complaining about the rain. If you run into one of those people... just remind them all the good things that rain brings. Lets thank God for the changing of the seasons and beauty that springs forth from the desolation of winter.
3 " 'If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, 4 I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit. 5 Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
7Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
14 A king's wrath is a messenger of death,
but a wise man will appease it.
15 When a king's face brightens, it means life;
his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
16 How much better to get wisdom than gold,
to choose understanding rather than silver!
