“It is simply there. It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God’s love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve love.”
—President Thomas S. Monson, “We Never Walk Alone”

 

 

I couldn't resist posting a beautiful 'springy' picture!  I saw a handful of robins on our front lawn this morning and then when I went into the kitchen there was a flock of birds on our back lawn.  What better thing to send me into 'spring fever'?

There are several reasons why I am ready for spring.  The robins are part of one of those reasons.  Without snow, the earth believes it is spring time!  Flower bulbs are blooming, birds are singing and people (including myself) are running around outside without even a jacket.  Another reason:  I am ready to open up the windows and air this place out!  Get all the germy, stuffy air out of our house.

I also have spring fever because I can't wait to watch my kids play soccer again.  M is playing, as she has for the past 6 years.  M and some friends also talked DH into playing for the first time in 6 years.  S, however, has decided not to play again.  After watching M and DH play a church basketball game (and getting to play with them for a few minutes) S decided she would rather play basketball.  Too bad the season is half over already.  But if she changes her mind we can still get her signed up for soccer.

I'm also hoping that spring brings some answers for us.  We are kind of in limbo right now, waiting for some things to work themselves out.  It is so hard to wait.  However, we know that the Lord will allow everything to work itself out as He wants it too.  Just being patient for those things to happen is hard.
