Brauner Backyard, Colorado Springs, Colorado
May Day?
Welcome to Spring in the Rockies. Okay, so this picture wasn't taken today. I snapped this pic on April 17. I've seen so many pics from Oregon of green grass, daffodils and tulips that I thought I'd share what it's like to celebrate Spring in the Rockies. Most everyone I know is begging for nice, warm weather.
It's around the corner.
Soon after Mom's Day I'll turn the soil and plant seeds in my garden. Soon I'll pull out the reel mower (that's right, no air or noise pollution from this guy) and clip the grass, but not yet.
My grass is brown not green. The daffodils are an inches high and bets are being taken as to whether they'll blossom or not. I'm still waiting to plant our living Christmas tree.
Waiting for Jesus' return is much like waiting for Summer in Colorado. You wonder if Christ is ever going to return and then one day it will happen.
"It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed." 1 Corinthians 15:52 New Living Translation
As we live in the waning days of Easter may we not forget that Jesus will return, and when he returns the dead will be raised. The day is coming when the bride will meet the Groom and the marriage feast of eternity will begin.
For those of us in Colorado we wait for summer and before we know it the dog days are upon us. For those of us who are in Christ, we know that the dawn of heaven is just around the corner.
Oh, and by the way, for those of who don't live in Colorado, snow is in the forecast for Colorado Springs today.
This blog is in honor of Chris Brownlow, the gentle giant, whose life was too short, but of great impact. It was a privilege to be one of your pastors, Chris.
