Hello there! Happy Spring!
These little beauties greeted me the other morning when I opened the front door. Crocus are always the first bright pops of color we get around here each spring. They're the sign that warmer temps and sunshine are just around the corner. Crocus are really kind of a symbol of hope. Just when you think winter just might stretch on forever, there the crocus are, popping their pretty little heads up to say hello, wish you a wonderful day, and remind you that spring will be here soon.
The same could be said in our every day life, I suppose. If you're struggling with something and feeling like you can't make it much longer, hang in there. Take heart! Be encouraged! Just like the crocus remind us that winter won't last forever, the "winter" in your life won't last forever either. God knows our struggles. He knows what we're facing and how hard life can be sometimes. But He's given us sweet little reminders, such as the crocus, that He'll never leave us. He'll bring us through whatever it is that we're going thru and we'll probably be better for it, for having gone thru it.
I didn't really set out to get all philosophical on you this afternoon. *wink* I really just thought I'd pop in and share a pretty crocus photo with you, but I have a feeling that some of you might be going thru some tough stuff right now, and perhaps this post can offer you a little bit of encouragement.
As for me, I'm plugging away in the studio this afternoon. I've got a few crafty deadlines this week that need to be checked off the list.
Wishing you a heart filled with hope today,
