The Hope of Spring

When my young energy was bountiful every room, nook and cranny received a deep cleaning during spring. With less energy and mobility, I made it a point to get the nursery together last weekend so I can start working on the yard - weeding, planting and trimming. I love being outside and this is just the therapy I need to start my third trimester. 

I've read that many women experience "nesting" right before going into labor. I am looking forward to feeling that bountiful energy so that I may clean, sterilize and organize like a champ.

Spring also brings the wonders of new life. It brings the promise of longer and brighter days, new fragrant blossoms, and it is the the time I celebrate the most important aspect of my faith; the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the celebration of His life and gift of eternal life to me. Did you know that rabbits are a powerful symbol of fertility and new life? That is why they are used to represent Easter but that is not the reason we celebrate Easter.

Scripture tells of Jesus Christ's death and his resurrection and how it symbolizes faith and hope in new life. Just as scripture tells us of the renewal Easter means in the Christian world, we can see evidence of it all round us as we celebrate this joyous season. 

Happy Easter!
