Though I don't mind winter at all, spring is still a wondrous time of year that nearly everyone looks forward to. What lovely imagery you've created, Jody, comparing that anticipation to the unfurling of God's truth in our hearts--every day that we take time to listen, no matter the season. Praise God for his faithfulness, ever-giving of wonder and His Word!

Such a gift, having someone like you read to us straight from the heart. Fresh snow on the ground here; spring beckoning, through your words. Thank you!

"Tight secrets on the God side" is speaking to me today. And I have a Jane magnolia. I talk about her in my post that is coming tomorrow. I'm also trying to get brave enough to post a video. We'll see...

Oh, I'm glad that line resonated with you, Stephanie. And I look forward to reading about your Jane magnolia...not sure I've ever seen one :-)

For now, I'm just sharing a picture of her in winter. I'll post one of her in spring when she's in full bloom. I think it's very similar to your Susan.

Oh, shucks. I'm seeing a three-way mirror, arms angled your way as well as Jody's . . . long may our hearts and hands, spirits and minds, reflect facets of truth, glimpses of dazzle!

Thank you. We are coming to the end of summer here in the southern hemisphere but Spring is always such a special time. Loved the poem.

Thank you Phillip! Yes, we have friends who live in New South Wales, and I keep forgetting the seasons are upside down.
