Welcome, Spring!

Welcome, Spring!

You bring hope...

Hope for light after the dark winter;

Hope for warmth after the cold winter;

Hope for new life after the dormant winter.

As the earth re-awakens from its long winter rest,

So may my soul re-awaken into the hope

of the Light and Warmth of

New Life in the Spirit of God.

I breathe deeply of the scent of spring

as I am rejuvenated by the Holy Breath.

I turn my face to the sun

as my heart turns to the Son.

I celebrate spring

as I raise my eyes, my arms, my heart, and all my being

to the Creator and Giver of Light and Life.
