A Lark in the Park

 

Every Spring the parks in Greensboro become a reason to escape the winter's grip, to rediscover what God has placed within our purview. To experience the birth of beauty and life in the great world of nature as God allows it to regenerate each year. 

The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, woodpeckers pecking, bees humming, water trickling in the creek and ducks carelessly paddling in search of whatever that is that they eat off the bottom of the stream. It was Spring at last, the renewal of life in every format and the promise of things to come. Robins hopping on the ground, cardinals hiding in the newly minted leaves of trees that were recently bare, wild flowers blooming where they fell, butterflies fluttering aimlessly across your path, life renewed as it always is. And what a harbinger of the promise that God has promised those who believe in His Son.

What a peek at the great Hope we have in the promises of God. Life renewed, the cold of winter displaced by the warmth of new life. What a glorious day for a walk in the park.
