This has always been my favorite time of year. The grass turns green, we work in the gardens, put out all the bird feeders, and stay outside til dark. The spring days just seem to put a permanent smile on my face. Spring brings new beginnings and new life to everything. Not just to my attitude after my "winter depression" I seem to face every year (now that I'm old!)...but everything comes alive!
One of my favorite things is that Easter typically kicks off the spring season; and not to mention Jeremy's and my birthday all in the same week! I love the weeks leading up to Easter. I'm not referring to the egg hunts (although those are a blast) or the baskets full of chocolates and goodies. I love the sermons at church. Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter service are probably my favorite sermons to hear during the year! Every year since a young child I have listened to the sermons about when Christ is Risen and every year it still moves me and brings tears to my eyes! New life and new beginnings!
This year, Jeremy and I will be starting a new beginning in our life. We will soon meet (via picture) our precious daughter. (Wow, I'm going to be a MOM!) We will prepare for her arrival home, prepare for our trip to China to pick her up, and most importantly prepare ourselves to become parents for the first time. What a blessing this sweet girl will be in our lives and she will be an orphan no more!
Much love,
