As spring glides into summer new life is emerging everywhere. 
Seedlings full of the hope for squash, pumpkins, salad, soup beans, ruby tomatoes, flavorful onions.  Also, seedlings of gratitude, faithfulness,  compassion, obedience peeking up in the tender soil of children’s hearts.

School lessons are being wrapped up and set aside for the lessons that happen during the sunshine rhythm of warm days pursuing creative endeavors, garden tending, afternoon games of skipbo & uno.  And I experience a surge of hope, the deep comforting hope that comes from seeing glimmers of green on the landscape of life.
