Bright Spots

Look in the woods and there is little here to appear to be springlike. The snow is gone but it usually doesn't hang around too long here in southern Indiana. There are lots of brown leafs on the ground from Autumn and the branches of the trees still bare though some have tiny buds. Some early flowers have emerged such as the daffodils. That is always a sign for me that it won't be long before the soft green comes and flowering trees blossom. I like that! I'm still here and there with blogger and the whole concept of circles is confusing to me. I've been seeing people have added me to their circle from remote places and I know nothing of them. Some are friends of friends and I check out their pages and try and get a feel for it before I add them. Really I am too simple or this is confusing to me. Nanook and I walked at river walk park yesterday. She was so delighted to ride in the car and happily sniffed at all kinds of things walking. I thought she was going to pull me in the water after the ducks when she saw them! It's almost Easter weekend. It is the time that reminds me of the blessed hope I have in Christ Jesus. Where would any of us be without hope? Jesus, for the joy set before Him endured the cross though He despised the shame. He conquered death, hell and the grave. He has provided for me a bright spot to help carry me through times of darkness and sorrow. He lives and the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead speaks comfort, healing, life and peace yet so much more into my life each day. He knows my needs and His mercies are new every morning! Thank God for the bright spots!
