Ready for Spring

Like many folks, I am ready for spring.  Here in Ohio, this seems like the coldest and snowiest winter on record.  Not sure if it has been officially.  Seems like pretty much everyday of 2014 it has either snowed or we have had temperatures ten to twenty degrees below normal; several days have been both.

Psalms 104 says that:

"He made the moon to mark the seasons,
and the sun knows when to go down.
20 You bring darkness, it becomes night,
and all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey
and seek their food from God.
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
they return and lie down in their dens.
23 Then people go out to their work,
to their labor until evening."

God made the seasons, and I certainly understand the logic behind having seasons. Winter is a time of rest. Creation still rests in winter.  Man . . . well that's a different story.

The Bible also says that God will not give us more than we can handle. Therefore, I will survive the cabin fever I am feeling. But in the meantime, here are some pretty spring pictures to lighten the mood!
