Last week on my drive to work I noticed these little green things popping out of the ground all over the city.  Now there are lovely purple and yellow crocuses all over the place (or is that croci … hee hee). Not getting into global warming….it was amazing to see all these little guys making an appearance in a month I usually relate with snow and ice.

The last few weeks at work, and I am sure the weeks to come, have been really hard.  I can’t seem to muster much energy into a job that a) I don’t have any future interest in anymore, b) just seems to get in the way of all the things I need to accomplish, and c) is really slow right now, which means really boring. But these last few days, as I am in a bit of a funk driving to work, I pass patches of these lovely flowers, and it just brightens my day a bit.  Maybe it’s the fulfilled hope of what has been lying dormant for so long. Maybe it’s the promise of of fruitful times ahead. Maybe it’s the contrast of the world in a hurry after empty pursuits racing by these peaceful blooms that in their simple existence can’t help but bring glory to to the Creator.
