Hidden Treasures

I was out admiring the signs of spring coming the other day- even had the chance to do some outside work, which was very invigorating and exciting. Recently Faith and I read an article that came to mind as I was digging away in that fresh spring dirt, looking for hidden green treasures!

"I am reminded by the... sheer delight in a single (bloom) that I can rejoice over the gifts that God gives daily- gifts that remain hidden if I let the child-like wonder for life stay buried beneath the remnants of old thought patterns and decayed thinking. Sometimes we have to force ourselves to push upward and out of the dirty soil of negative thinking to receive the gifts our heavenly Father wants to give- hidden treasure He lavishes upon those who have eyes to behold the One and only God and whose delight is in Him." (Jill Novak, Girlhood Home Companion) -Kara

Ps Good things comin'! (you can't really capture here the full beauty of these buds just exploding in the warmer weather, but truly- it was a moment of praise just to stick my head out the window and snap a picture)
