Spring Renewal

As I walk through the gardens and see tiny buds swelling on tree limbs or a bulb pushing green fleshy growth through the soil, I become pensive and reflect on myself as a micro-member of the universe.

It seems improbable to me that anyone would consider the gift of life...in any form...as anything other than preordained and preplanned by a supreme being so much greater than anything we could imagine. How could any thing that exists in our universe be here by the colliding or gases or the evolution of one organism or another?

It simply isn't possible.

There is a creator of everything. His name is God.

What's amazing to me is that He created everything we as human beings need to survive on planet earth. Every plant has a purpose. Plants feed, clothe, medicate, color, decorate and oxygenate our world and individual lives.

Relish the renewal of spring, but don't miss the forest for the trees. Nothing and no one is here by happenstance...
