Second Annual Signs of Spring Post February 19, 2008

Mr Music knows I am watching for signs of Spring. Sunday he came to me with the sighting of the first robins in our yard. He explained they “do not look happy to be there” and later went so far as to say they had “a grumpy look on their faces.” He then demonstrated just what a grumpy robin face looks like but it only succeeded in making us all laugh.
Then in worship, we sang Loved with Everlasting Love and (though I did not especially like the hymn), I thought the second verse related well to musings of Spring: “Heav’n above is deeper blue, earth around is sweeter green,/that which glows in every hue Christless eyes have never seen” and I began thinking about what things Christless eyes do not see. I am reminding myself to watch for signs of Christ’s kingdom growing around me, not just for the buds and birds.
