Though winter temps have returned, the promise of spring fell upon us last week. It’s the promise of life and newness, of hope and redemption.

The sun invited us to lift our faces and bask in its warmth. The flowers and trees beckoned for spring’s benediction, reaching upward, reaching for sustenance.

Spring will come again, little ones. You will grow — and you will bear fruit.
