Spring is a season that is full of many kinds of weather. The days can change quickly, and at times it takes us by surprise. This quote from Frances Hodgson Burnett's "Secret Garden" capture is well.
"Is the spring coming? ... What is it like?"
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine..."
The passage is a wonderful capture of the wonder and the beauty of it all. Is the sun shining on the rain or is the rain falling on the sunshine? I think the simple answer is "yes" to both.
Soon the baby birds will hatch and learn to fly. The lilacs and peonies are coming soon. The bunnies are everywhere. I do love spring. Without the rain there would be no flowers. The sunshine warms the soil so the seeds come to life and take root. Both are necessary.
"He makes all things beautiful in His time."
Today, I am grateful for the mixed blessings.
