The leaves are in the falling part of Fall now. And of course, I discover that a plastic Easter egg outside on a front shrub at my house has been hidden under those leaves all summer… silly…
Maybe it was an odd man out, or maybe we can remember that we all need to understand the blessings Easter morning brings every day, even deep into November. Easter’s colorful revelation re-revealed.
It is mid November, it could be snowing by now, but it’s NOT. The weather has been warm enough that some of the flowers are confused and have bloomed on the bushes, at this local arboretum. Pinks, purples, yellow.
And the colorful collection of changed color leaves means the underlying pigments are now starting to shine. The deepest greens still shine, the yellows are mellow, the reds and browns astound.
There’s something to be said about true colors underneath, about LIGHT breaking through, and about knowing Spring is around the corner. And that yes we live out each day uniquely – one day at a time, one breath at a time… LIGHT overcomes darkness, always.
And a little chipmunk knows the season, he preps for winter, probaly he doesn’t worry but keeps working. Us too..
Yes, and us… We know to prep, and that the worry about life, impending winter, lack of warmth, won’t last long. It will be spring before we know it.
And Easter? Well yes, always rejoice in Jesus. He has come, is here, and will come again. “Maranatha” – someone exclaimed to me this morning, seeing my Jesus bumper sticker, encouraging both of us… “Yes”, I replied, “Jesus is coming back any cloud now…”
Let us shine in the knowledge of that, from underneath to understanding…
Revealing revelations… revel in that…
Amen
John 1:4-5 NKJV
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
