 Now faith is confidence 

in what we hope for

 and assurance about 

what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

I think I'm seeing buds on trees.  Maybe Spring is just around the corner...maybe.  We had freezing rain this morning.  It could be a "nipped in the bud" day.  I hope those little buds make it.  But...

I don't see the life flowing through every branch-- life that is hidden but coursing through every tree that is destined to bring forth flowers and leaves.  All I can do is hope and be assured that God cares enough to take care of the trees...

and me.
