Joy of Spring

Today was such a beautiful day. It was not perfect but I seldom strive for perfection. I know that there is joy in the journey. I am, at this moment, enjoying the journey.
It appears that Spring has finally arrived. I LOVE Spring. It is so full of life. Everything is beautiful and new. Flowers are blooming, the sun is shining and it is baseball season. I think baseball is my favorite sport. My youngest son loves baseball, even if his team loses! He is growing so fast. I know that I must savor every moment.
It is also Easter week. Easter is my favorite holy day. My soul is filled with joy when I think of how much Christ loves us, loves me. He died a horrible death that I might live. He loves me more than I love my children. My heart overflows. I want to love Him more. The joy is not in the death but in the fact that He lives. He has victory over death and through Him we can too! Spring reminds me of His resurrection and our rebirth.
Sometimes, when I am so filled with joy, I am afraid. I worry that something may go wrong but for now am not afraid. I am filled with love and happiness. I am thrilled to my soul.
