 THE NEWNESS OF SPRING

“Behold, I am making all things new” Revelation 21:5

This has been a difficult winter for most people, at least in terms of the
weather.  In many places in our Episcopal District, the weather has been colder than usual and we have had multiple, unexpected snow, ice and sleet events. 

 
Across the United States, many have experienced blizzards, record snowfalls and below zero temperatures.  I am aware of several individuals in the Episcopal
District who have been stranded, have fallen, had bursted pipes and so on this winter.

The scripture reminds us, however, that in Christ each day is a new day – “morning by morning new mercies we see.”  Spring is a visual reminder of the newness we experience in Christ and a reminder of God’s ever present love for his people.  The trees bud, the flowers bloom, the grass turns green with a predictability that we know is beyond our control.  God takes the dreariness of winter and makes things new again! 

During the season of the approaching Easter, which is another reminder of the new life we can have in Christ, may each of us feel God’s new vision, new hope,
new joy that awaits all of His creation!   For in Christ, the dreariness and weariness of our lives can always be transformed into something new!
