March signals the beginning of spring.  As we anticipate the wonders and beauty of yet another spring season, I thought I would leave you with this thought:

One of God's arrangements is that after winter

there should come beautiful spring days.  It

happens in every year and it happens in every life.

Be blessed and be encouraged
