such new beginnings
like the leaves of a burr oak
remind us of hope
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom he has given us.
Romans 5:5 (NIV)

Like the autumn rains
on the thirsty, thirsty plains
hope springs eternal
and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s Love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

covered in blankets of dust
remembering rain

on the cloudless plains
the merciless sun beats down
yet the flowers hope

the frosty oak limbs
catching the first morning sun
point to rays of hope
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

defoliated
winter shadows. still more snow.
dormant, not dead.
For you will go out with joy and be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Isaiah 55:12 (NASB)
Sometimes, when it snows
I think about the brave rose
buried half alive.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

As for hope, we find
much more reason to believe.
So we look for good.

It is his first snow.
“Daddy, the ground is all gone!”
“Son, it will come back.”
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
