Ahhh......Spring!
Isn't it grand? Isn't it wonderful? I love Spring!
As
I driving to and from Ohio this spring, I have had the incredible experience and
privilege of witnessing the many glorious shades of green that the
Lord has created! From Kansas, to Missouri, to Illinois, to Indiana,
and finally Ohio I have driven by various shades of green such as:
Emerald green, apple green, chartreuse green, jade green, moss green,
Nile green, olive green, Paris green, pea green (YUCK!), peacock
green, sea green, shamrock green, verde green, and myrtle green.
That is fourteen shades of GREEN! Wow! I had no idea there were so
many shades!!!
Green
is the color of growing grass, green plants, foliage on trees of
every variety and green leafy vegetables!!! What particular shade or
tint of green is your favorite??? Think of the big box of 64 crayons
and try to remember one of those colors!!!
Many
years ago as a Medical Sales rep I had Salina, KS in my territory and
in the Spring, Salina had the most beautiful wheat fields I have even
seen anywhere!!! They are truly the most exquisite color of green I
have laid my eyes upon..........I miss those fields!!!
One
of my favorite folk songs from the 1970's is called: Pass It On.
These
words offer a beautiful rendition of tribute to Spring and to God
which go in tandem to create the beauty that we witness every year!!!
If
you don't know the tune, listen with your heart:
“It
only takes a spark to get a fire going,
And
soon all those around can warm up in its glowing;
That's
how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it:
You
spread His love to everyone, you want to pass it on.
What
a wondrous time is Spring when all the trees are budding,
The
birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming;
That's
how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it:
You
want to sing, it's fresh like Spring, you want to pass it on.
I
wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found,
You
can depend on Him, it matters not where you're bound:
I'll
shout it from the mountain tops: Hey World! I want my world to
know:
The
Lord of Love has come to me, I want to pass it on....”
The
glorious shades of green.........look around and find your favorite
shade and pass it on!!!
