Let us give thanks for the promise and familiarity of Spring

It seems to me that the season of Lent and the celebration of Easter fall at the perfect time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. Easter and spring arrive together. The church asks us to imitate nature and make sure that we are giving birth to new life at Easter. No matter how old we are, there is still new life in all of us.

One response to: “Let us give thanks for the promise and familiarity of Spring”

Jacobo Colon Jr. says:

Here in the Carribbean Easter and Lent is related to a sunny day on the beach. Many chirstians take a vacation and run to the beach .Unfortunately they put Lent and Easter aside.This year nature spoke.Huge waves crashed on our shores.The danger of the surfs put the beaches offlimits. On the evening television news people spoke of God’s ways. Was God calling us to come home and have a spiritual balance in our lifes?”Blessed are all who fear the lord ,who walk in his ways.” Others were happy because the weather will improve.”Not everything is lost. We can have fun all day Saturday and Sunday morning before we go home.”Jesus answered,”Father,forgive these people because they don’t know what they are doing.”
