Steadfast... This past week, the crocuses behind the house came up, pushing their way through the lingering snow. Part of the joy of planting bulbs is that by the time they come up, I've usually forgotten where I planted them, or that I even planted them at all. Crocuses are the first to arrive, defying winter's lingering grip and willing spring into existence. Poking through the snow, they seem to say, "We will not be denied!" And so it begins again: melting, thawing, growing, gardening, picnicing, playing...
Steadfast... Through Lent, we recall God's unwavering faithfulness. We remember that even as this season carries us relentlessly towards the cross, our faith blossoms from the mystery of resurrection - that sense that death never has the last word and that new life simply will not be denied. Thanks be to God for this enduring faithfulness, and for endless possibilities of new life!
