In the fall, actually late nov to early jan in Florida, when things begin to 'die off' and trees lose their leaves, etc. I find it very sad. Almost fortelling of my own 'demise'. But then comes Spring and things come alive again. And it gives me great hope for the future. Not necessarily my own future.
God blessed me with six wonderful children. Now 3 of them live with Him in Heaven. He blessed me with 14 grandchildren. Some of whom I have never met and that is sad. But in our society today, people do not live 'nearby' as they used to. Walton's Mountain is definitely a thing of the past for many families, especially mine. Now I have 14 great grandchildren, so far, and most of them I have not met which really saddens me. And last September I was blessed to have a great-great-granddaughter down in Texas who I hope someday to meet.
When I think of all the 'buds' on my tree it makes me feel like Sarah! How blessed am I that God took the seed from my body and has sown it, basically all over the country, far and wide.
So, yes, Spring has great meaning to me. It means that my life will go on and on and on through all those people, those leaves, that come from my roots! Thank you Jesus!
