Multitude Monday (29-49)

As March shows her face with the turn of the calendar, the hope of spring dwells strong among everyone I know.  March is the hope that the long winter has but a short time remaining.  In the midst of melting snow and ice, I look for the promise of the green yet to come, and yet, linger on what remains, right now.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

a day late, but thankful nonetheless...
