“Look at the daffodils!” she said, viewing our backyard.
Most people feel elated when they spot colorful shoots
breaking through the cold soil. And for good reason. Spring's flowers in the
wake of winter's pall proclaim resurrection.
Indeed, Psalm 19 notes nature's eloquence. “The heavens are
telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day
pours forth speech …”
And pouring forth speech for me are the daffodils,
particularly those that flourish unmaintained in cemeteries. Couple their
eloquence with the Good News of Jesus Christ, and this announcement rings: “I
am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they
die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” (John
11: 25-26).
Wishing You and Yours a Wondrous Easter,
Warner
I see a cross below the daffodil flower!
