I am not by nature a negative person. I always try to find something positive in a situation. But it doesn't always happen. When I can't find something positive in life itself, I look to nature--and in the spring, I am always sure to find it.
Spring often comes quick as a flash. I have been waiting for my lilacs to really be in bloom for quite some time now. And today, I felt they were beginning to reach their prime. There is a spiritual lesson in there somewhere.....God's timing is always the best. Waiting is essential in order for true beauty to be revealed.
As you scroll those these photos, read the words to one of my favorite country songs by George Strait.
I've been to church
I've read the book
I know He's here but I don't look
Near as often as I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
Just slowed down to look
Opened my eyes
And man I swear
I saw God today
I encourage you to seek the Lord where He can be found. He is ALWAYS somewhere--even in the places we least expect. We are never abandoned. See Him today.

Beautiful post Ella-thank you. =)
Enjoyed your post! One cannot look outside without seeing the evidence of God.
That is one of the very few songs ,on the radio station that most of the people at work like to listen to all the time, that is actually good and worth listening to. Thanks for sharing the pictures and the words.
Oh those lilacs are so pretty! We have two lilac trees. One is all purple and one is half purple, half white. :)
I sometimes think of the hymn, This is My Father's World or All Creatures of Our God and King when I see/think of the Lord's beautiful creations.
