Sprung Spring

This is our plum tree in the back yard. It is beautiful. I see the flowers in the morning out my window and it makes me smile because I think of all the wonderful things spring will bring; rain, a fresh start, new beginnings, new life. I am happy and greatful for these things. I am greatful for my savior and for his sacrifice for each and everyone of us-even me. I am greatful for the blessing of a "fresh start" and forgivness for my mistakes and know that if I have faith in the atonment and continue on the right path that it can always be "spring". I am reminded of the bapism song, "When I am Baptised"- "I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain, and ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again. I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain. I want to do the best I can, and live with God again. I know when I am baptized my wrong are washed away and I can be forgiven and improve myself each day. I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain. I want to do the best I can and live with God again." Very thankful for this beautiful reminder each day when I look outside.
