683. Whatever we are waiting for – springtime, peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance – it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. ~Edited line by Sarah Ban Breathnach

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,
if a blade of grass springing up in the fields
has power to move you, if the simple things
of nature have a message that you understand,
rejoice, for your soul is alive.
~Eleonora Duse

Spring is teeming. Even in areas where snow still covers the ground, much is happening in the hidden realms at this time of year; tight buds get looser, nutrients begin to nourish roots in the sunny corners of the earth, and the hibernating creatures among us start to awaken. ~Excerpted and edited lines from Gratefulness.org

Out of His (Jesus Christ’s) fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. ~John 1:16   ✝

  1. Ummmmm, you northern hemisphere people are in your spring. Lovely. What a relief for some. Still snow for others (believe me. I lived in Ottawa for 6 1/2 years-eek). As for us southerners, we are in our autumn. However it’s shorts, tanks and light dresses daily still for this girl. 🙂
    Have a great weekend N.
    Love and blessings.
    🙂 ❤
