Lo, The Winter Is Past.................

For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. the flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come............ Song of Solomon 2:11,12 Once again nature is gifting the earth her bountiful goodness. Spring following winter is indeed a gracious gift in this Northeastern United States. The air is crisp and clear, a fresh pallette of color returns to grey skies, the earth begins it's slow journey toward greening, and all around us bursts forth new life. Just as surely, summer follows spring. Hummmm......seems as if there are difinite laws governing the seasons. That creates an interesting concept to ponder....How well do we pay attention to our own personal journey that is governed by law? Do we listen to our inner guidance and take care of our mental, physical and spiritual health? We are always being given clues to follow. If we pay attention, we fare well. If we ignore, no so well. Much of our time here on earth is governed by our health factor. With a high grade of health our lives take on more purpose and become infused with the pure joy of being alive. We are reminded what to strive for in writings of Solomon, the book of Proverbs......"Keep your heart (spirit) with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life." Proverbs 4:23 Excellent advise in any season!
