Spring Lessons...

Spring has arrived in Kentucky.
Birds are singing.
Trees are budding.
Grass is now green and rapidly growing.

Sounds and sights of spring are everywhere.
Children are playing outside.
Neighbors are mowing yards. 
Windows are open to allow fresh air inside.

But there are sounds I, gratefully, do not hear.
I do not hear grass boasting of its rich color and rapid growth.
I do not hear birds arguing over who sings best.
I do not hear trees competing with flowers about who blooms first.

Perhaps they rely on God for their individual beauty.
Perhaps they realize He finds each one valuable.
Perhaps they accept that comparison is unnecessary.
Perhaps they learned that in unity, He is honored incredibly.

Dear God, thank You for the beauty of Spring.
Thank You for each unique and special gift You create.
May I depend on You for my purpose, value and hope.
May we unite as we grow, serve and reflect...You.
