I don’t ever remember wanting spring to come as badly as I do this year.  I long for warm sunny days.  This years winter months have seemed so long.   I’m growing very weary of gray days.  I can’t wait for blue skies above….birds singing….and the flowers blooming.  Springtime refreshes me!   I’m looking forward to springing forward and the days getting longer.

When I think of Heaven, I picture springtime…..beautiful colors everywhere…..no darkness, only light.  I long for Heaven in a way I’ve never known before.  A place that’s full of joy and peace…..no sorrow, only happiness…..I can only imagine right now the beauty of Heaven.  I often think of a song my husband sang at my Granny’s funeral “Beulah Land”

“I’m kind of homesick for a country

to which I’ve never, never been before

no sad goodbyes up there will be spoken

time won’t matter anymore.

Beulah Land, I’m longing for you

and some day on thee I’ll stand

and there my home shall be eternal

Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land

I’m looking out across the river

to where my faith is gonna end in sight

theres  just a few, few more days

were all gonna have to labor

then I’m gonna take my heavenly flight!”

Time to get busy doing whatever it is that the Lord needs me to do!!

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”  Matthew 11:28-30

Choose JOY everyday!!
