Song of Solomon 2:12-13

It’s been a long, cold winter and I am eager for warm weather. I’m tired of seeing bare trees and lifeless brown leaves covering the ground. I long to see wildflowers and to watch the woods turn green once more.

In longing for some future good, we forget that every day, regardless of the weather or our circumstances, is a gift from God to be used for His glory. In every season, there is a reason to rejoice and an opportunity to do good.

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. -Song of Solomon 2:12-13
