Thank You, LORD . . .

"Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." - Martin Luther

5336.) for our visit with M.'s parents yesterday on a gorgeous spring day - lunch together, a long ride through the countryside, ice cream and a walk around the neighborhood (we also met a man who handcrafts pens from exotic wood - fascinating!)
5337.) for all the sweet animals we saw yesterday on our little road trip - a creamy white, newborn calf; flocks of sheep with their lambs and several alpacas guarding them; a herd of Texas longhorn cattle; farm after farm of beautiful, black racehorses; and several deer in the growing dusk during the road home
5338.) for a fun Saturday morning volunteering at the annual herb festival
5339.) that Spring seemed to come upon us overnight - the spring peepers are singing on the pond and the trees and flowers have popped - You are quite the Artist, Abba.
5340.) that Holy Week has begun - and that He "steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem . . ."
5341.) that You surround Your people now and forever (Psalm 125:2)
5342.) that "the LORD's glory came to all the people" (Leviticus 9:23)
5343.) that Your Word is alive and working and sharper than a double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12)
5344.) that the righteous can look forward to a bright future because of His righteousness (Proverbs 13:9)
