The Treasure of Spring

That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering. Philippians 3:10

I treasure this time of year. Our boys were born in spring. Now we have a granddaughter to enjoy. As a farm girl, new life was so precious. It’s been a while since I could claim that title, but that’s my heritage. Calves are born and chicks are hatching. We have some babies in our birdhouse already. There’s a verse I love in Malachi 4:2 “But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall.” It’s quite a sight really and a picture of our thrill to KNOW HIM – and the power of His resurrection.

I’m jumping for joy as I jot this note. I saw a cool T-shirt – It said, “a lot can happen in a week.” This shirt had symbols of the crown and a palm branch as well as a cross and an empty tomb. I have too many shirts already but that one was tempting.

We may know Him. One song that I love lately says, “I’m fighting a battle – you’ve already won. No matter what comes my way. I will overcome. Don’t know what you’re doing. But I know what you’ve done. I’m fighting a battle you’ve already won. (by Shane and Shane)

Pray for our women as we delve into Philippians. This year’s study is unique as the author has asked us to read the whole book of Philippians every month. (It takes twenty minutes) I have the Bible app – you version and have enjoyed different translations for this assignment. She also has a memory verse each month so that is a challenge as well. We will know Him better as we study it. We can hook you up with a copy if you’d like to take the time to get to know Him, too.
