Promise of Spring



Hosea 6:3--"Let us acknowledge the Lord.... As surely as the sun shines,...he will come to us like the...spring rains that water the earth."

The past few days have been bitterly cold so it is wonderful to see the weather moderate today. I've loved feeling the sun and even had to open the car window coming home from church. God has promised to give us seasons and all that they bring and I so look forward to Spring--the season of new life. Jesus also gives us new lives if we trust in him to do so. Though our lives are wasting away, he brings the hope of eternal Spring.

This little "basket" was made from a paper mache peat pot to which I added a vintage image (Paper Whimsy), gel pen, glitter pen, paint washed perforated paper, other ephemera, old lace and a floral stem. It measures about 3" x 5 1/2."
