I love sleeping and I love extra hours in my day, so daylight saving time in the fall is one of my favorite days of the year. Alas, spring daylight saving is a day of mourning. But how amazing was it to have sunshine an hour longer today? It was such a beautiful day. I straggled out of bed long enough to breathe some of the fresh air and cool breezes. This picture was taken at 7:30 at night! The kids ran around outside today like ants at a picnic. They were almost giddy with the longer day, and I felt the same way just looking around seeing the sunshine and new budding flowers. God is so good through all the seasons. It's another blessing that I take for granted; the changing of the earth throughout the year. The gift of sunshine after dark winter days. The refreshing breezes of fall after sweltering heat. Today I tried to just sit for a moment in the sun and look at new life emerging around me after the seemingly death of winter. God truly does magnify Himself in even the most "simple" act of emerging buds on winter branches. It's an infectious joy to see peeking bits of color from bland earth. "For behold, he who forms the mountains and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth-- the LORD, the God of hosts, is his name!" Amos 4:13
