Happy Last Day of April!
Growth is beginning!
Though sometimes it feels slow in coming we know...
Gen.8:22
“As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night will never cease.”
and that's just the beginning of hope!!
because...
1 Cor.15:19
If only for this life we have hope in Christ,
we are of all people most to be pitied.
To rush the thorn with blushing rose...
Behold, after the winter, Spring!
The barren bough runs rife
With gold and green embellishing
Each treetop with new life
Like an ocean-tide ebbs and flows
So too the seasons surge
To rush the thorn with blushing rose
Like daybreak's virgin verge
Hope orchestrates a holy hymn
In both nature and hearts
Behold the blossom-furbished limb
The kiss of sun imparts
Behold God's covenant fulfilled
And the prelude to Heaven spilled
In bud and birds refrains
Janet Martin
