Sharing the Blessings vol. 11

Presenting the March edition of Sharing the Blessings.  Join up below!
Today, the chickadees are singing, flitting from branch to snow covered branch - one of my very favorite sounds.  Springtime is just around the corner, waiting to burst forth in a glory of warm earth and new life.  My flower garden is sleeping under a heavy blanket of snow, but soon, what was once a cold, dead plot of earth will be bursting with life and color.  There will be new calves down in the valley.  Is there anything more adorable than a newborn calf?  I think not.  And lambs, ducklings, wild songbird nestlings.
And best of all, that warm, green smell of the world awakening from it's long, cold sleep - ready to paint the countryside with vibrant color and miraculous life.

I'm thankful for the seasons - each one filled with a wonder all it's own.
---------------------------------------
"For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations."
Isaiah 61:11

  1. I don't have a real blog to link up to but today I made this observation of gratitude I wanted to share. We have been in a serious drought the past year and lately, it has been above average temps and dry. Yesterday, however, with quite blustery winds, a front pushed down and gave us a serious rain! Today, the sky is a cloudless azure blue, the temperatures are cool with a slight breeze, and the earth responded with a HUGE thanks with azalea bushes blooming and trees showing off their new tiny spring green leaves! I just took a walk and it was glorious! My oh my what a blessing rain is for all living things!

    Newborn calves, I'm a wee bit jealous! :) You are right there is NOTHING cuter than that. :)

    Linking up my blog post. It's not what I would normally link up, but hey, baking cupcakes with my sister was a blessing to me. :)
