Yesterday my son, David, and I had planned to clear the way to a fallen tree in our back acreage, preparing for next fall’s wood supply, but instead, we changed our plans due to the falling snow we have been experiencing all week.
Last week beautiful Pacific Northwest spring weather –
This week return to winter.
This morning I found this email about his evening walk. So beautifully expressed as Sunday, we celebrate our Lord’s Resurrection. I hope you will be inspired to stop, remember, and look at God’s glorious creation! If we remain in His Presence, He will always reveal Himself to us.
We must have our spiritual eyes, ears, and heart ready to receive!

This one is the American Winterberry.
It reminds me of a lowly, humble plant growing on the forest floor with berries. Notice the tear stains on the leaves; berries now pink will turn red like sweat drops of blood. This plant is easy to miss unless you have the eyes to see it.
This one is the Oregon Grape.
It reminds me of a golden crown of thorns.
The golden berries soon turn royal purple. 
The Avalanche Lilly with six white petals represents the day man was created with a center crown of gold, a promise from our risen LORD to them that love Him. “Jesus was God and man in one person, that God and man might be happy together again.”—-George Whitfield
The Avalanche Lilly reminds me of being closest to the sun, which will cast a shadow no matter which cloud you are in.
Psalm 91:1 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high, shall abide under the shadow of the most high.”
How fitting to equate the things of nature to our Lord; to see the beauty and be reminded who made all this possible, and then to see Jesus’ death, resurrection, and the hope that Spring brings in His Creation. Thank you for that simple reminder. He is Risen!
Wow! Beautiful devotional & reflection on Gods messages to us in Nature !
