Though it doesn't feel like it today, it certainly did a few days ago. We were out doing chores a few evenings ago and one of my sisters was out rounding up the cows to be milked. She stopped for a moment in the field and inhaled deeply. There was something; some tantalizing, invigorating smell. Another sister was in the field checking on the calves, she too paused to take in a deep breath. In an instant it hit them. They turned towards each other and noticed that each was doing the same thing.
"It's Spring! Can't you smell it?" They said at the same instant, laughing with joy.
Yes. Spring is coming. The leaves are starting to bud with new growth. The pastures are greening up ever so slightly. Spring is a time for new life and growth. It fills you with such hopefulness. New beginnings. Fresh starts. The old life shed and the new beginning.
So it is with our Spiritual life. Life in Christ provides a fresh start. New beginnings. New life.
“ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
This is the reason we (our family) is happy. This is why we are joyful and have close knit relationships. Christ in our hearts. He makes us happy and fulfilled in Him. He gives us a hope for eternity. And anyone can have this peace and joy! He says,
“ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
