All of Nature~

It is said that all of nature tells the story of God, and creation.  Today is Saint Patrick's Day, and I found this interesting picture of a four leafed clover.  The shamrock generally only grows three leaves, only rarely four.  The three leaves are said to represent the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, with the color green representing the new life we receive when we accept His gift of salvation.  Green is such a prominent color in our world, when Spring comes, it seems as if it is everywhere.  My husband once made the comment that green must be God's favorite color because He uses more of it than He does any other.  I think he must be right.  God certainly wants to remind us that there is hope, and life , and that even though sometimes our lives seem brown and dead like the fall , or winter landscape, the Spring does always eventually come again. I love that scripture in the Bible , about how summer and winter , springtime and harvest, will never cease until the Lord comes again.  That is a great reminder that everything just "comes to pass" and not to "stay".  It was so wonderful to see the sun and all the green grass and jonquils out blooming today. It definitely lifted my spirits up!  Thank God for new beginnings!
