It does not look like this yet in my area but I’m believing and hoping it is coming soon!

Spring  = Sunshine. Flowers. Warmth. Renewal. Time to spring-clean : ) Time for Writers Conferences.

What image does the word “Spring” bring to your thoughts?

What is the first thing you think of? 

Happy Spring!


In Other Words – Together

Winter 2014 - Photo by C.A. Lovely

Snowflakes are one of nature’s most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together.”- Vesta M. Kelly

“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” I Cor. 1:10

Imagine what we could do, working together!

This should be the last winter post of snowy weather since SPRING  arrives next week.

  • A few details:Stop by www.brmcwc.com to read my 3/11/14 post about the Blue Ridge Mts. Christian Writers Conference in May. Can’t wait!
  • To celebrate the end of winter and usher in the days of Sweet Tea, leave a comment to enter a drawing for  “Secrets Over Sweet Tea” by Denise Hildreth Jones.
  • Answer this question in your comment: In your locale, how soon can you sit outside in warm weather sharing Sweet Tea with a friend?

 


My Words – Spring Forward with Kindness

First come the daffodills. Not in my garden, still covered in white. In my local grocery store, wrapped in bunches of ten for a brief glimpse of spring color. I love to see the sunny faces and always buy them as soon as they’re available.

I like to pick up an extra bunch to pass on to someone. It is my way of passing on the message and hope of Spring.

Would you join me in this act of kindness? Don’t you love it when someone brings you flowers? 

Kind deeds rest so sweetly in the heart of the giver and the receiver.

A few weeks ago, while out of town to attend Bible College, a dear woman cheered my day. Upon returning to our friend’s home after a long, full day of intensive classes, she greeted us at the door with a plate of fresh brownies.

I had forgotten to bring any chocolate snacks and the aroma of freshly baked brownies almost did me in  🙂

As you change your clocks this weekend and Spring Forward, I encourage you to pass on an act of kindness. Flowers. Chocolate. Something simple. Something sweet.

I’d love to hear about your act of kindness in a comment.
