I'm also happy about life. At least, I am happiER about life than I was when I last posted. I really have nothing to complain about. I have seen the Lord's blessings in countless ways since the beginning of this glorious month. I mean, come on... Isn't April glorious? It ushers in new life. I LOVE spring. It takes me back in my mind to carefree times of lemonade, flip-flops, and GoodWood softball... Pink shirts with green stripes, super blonde hair, and Sara and Allie's laughter (those two friends of mine have the BEST laughs ever laughed). It also makes me think about a song I used to know... perhaps that song can be introduced to you...
Every evening sky
An invitation
To trace the pattern stars
And early in July
A celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice you
In children's games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are Summer
And even when the trees
Have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves
In mid-September
And sending us inside
Still I notice you when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and what's to come
You are Autumn
And every thing in time
And under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white
All creation
Shivers underneath
And still I notice you when branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death you open doors for life to enter
You are Winter
And every thing thats new
Has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
And what was frozen through
Is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every seasons change
And so it will be
An invitation
To trace the pattern stars
And early in July
A celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice you
In children's games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are Summer
And even when the trees
Have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves
In mid-September
And sending us inside
Still I notice you when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and what's to come
You are Autumn
And every thing in time
And under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white
All creation
Shivers underneath
And still I notice you when branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death you open doors for life to enter
You are Winter
And every thing thats new
Has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
And what was frozen through
Is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every seasons change
And so it will be
as You are recreating me
Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring
Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring
