Spring seems to bring about more feelings of anticipation than any other season to me.  After lunch today, Ann and I went looking through the area where we've planted some bluebonnet seeds last fall.  Sure enough there are some that are starting to come up. 

Moreover, Elizabeth planted several of the seeds we had saved from some of the native plants here at the building.  She put them in some starter planting pots I picked up the other day.  In only 3 days they are already starting to peak out. 

The trees are starting to bud.  The geese are heading north.  The fish are coming towards the shallows for the spawn.  The birds are chirping it up, looking for food, and a place to build a nest.  Temperatures are feeling more warm than cold.  Rain is headed this way on the radar.

I am anticipating all these things.

And the Lord's congregation has grown here. 

And I am anticipating what's around the corner from Him.  Skies the limit ~ and here comes the rain.
