The year's at the spring
and day's at the morn;
morning's at seven;
the hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
the snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -
All's right with the world!
~ Robert Browning
Hark! the hours are softly calling
bidding Spring arise
to listen to the rain-drops falling
from the cloudy skies
To listen to Earth's weary voices
louder every day
Bidding her no longer linger
on her charm'd way
but hasten to her task of beauty
scarcely yet begun.
~ Adelaide Anne Procter
The epitome of "Growin' like a weed"
Let's chop it down!
Sow with a view to righteousness,
reap in accordance with kindness;
break up your fallow ground,
for it is time to seek the LORD
until He comes to rain righteousness on you.
~ Hosea 10:12
Drip down, O heavens, from above,
and let the clouds pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
and righteousness spring up with it.
I, the LORD, have created it.
~ Isaiah 45:8
For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
and as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.
~ Isaiah 61:11
Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
to-day the glint of green is there;
tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair;
no miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!
~ L.H. Bailey
April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go.
~ Christopher Morley
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself,
because it is not there. There is no such thing.
~ C.S. Lewis
A friend loves at all times.
~ Proverbs 17:17a
...Behold, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone.
The flowers have already appeared in the land;
the time has arrived for pruning the vines,
and the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
The fig tree has ripened its figs,
and the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.
~ Song of Solomon 2:11-13
