Dear God,

Who can resist spring?  Who would not want to let go of the dead for new life to come forth?  Who would be reluctant to receive what spring alone can offer?

As the birds sing their sweet lullabies, the trees begin to bud, the bulbs peek through the winter soil, and the grass takes on new colors of green, who would say no to what is about to rise up?  Resurrection is sweet, a perfect complement to faith.

Holy God,
giver of life,
forgive us
when we fail
to let go.
Renew us;
we need resurrection.

Love, Andrea
