Spring


Spring is a time of new beginnings, hope, fresh starts, joy, happiness, peace and contentment. Spring is a good time to really look at your life and decide what you believe and why. Use this opportunity to do Spring cleaning not just in your home but in your heart and spirit too.

Easter the most important Christian holiday-Jesus Resurrection is closely related to the revival of nature. It is a time for all religions to rejoice and honor the miracle of rebirth. No matter your religious beliefs, Easter honors the beginning of life in one form or another.

Did you know that the butterfly is one of the symbols used most? often to signify Easter? Its whole life cycle is symbolic of the meaning of the life of Christ. First, there is the caterpillar, which stands for His life on Earth. Second, comes the cocoon stage, portraying the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. The third and final stage is the beautiful butterfly, representing His raising from the dead in a glorified body.

Consider incorporating a butterfly theme into your Easter/Spring Celebrations.

Spring Into A New Beginning

Spring's Gifts
rain-washed air and golden sun,
songs of birds to greet the day,
Skies turned palest blue from gray.

Spring has gifts from morn till night-
extra hours of welcome light,
budlets covering branches bare,
new life springing everyone.

But perhaps her greatest gift
is the heart's and spirit's lift
as weary-winter souls relearn
that springtime always does return.
