Little Sounds of Spring

Friday, February 5, 2010

I was walking to my car this morning and to my surprise it was actually pleasant out. I felt pretty comfortable in a sweatshirt and sweat pants on my way to the gym. As I was unlocking my car I stopped for a second and looked around. I saw the snow dripping off the roof, the melted puddles on the ground but two small birds caught my eye. I followed them from tree to tree for a while--just listening. I was listening to them sign and fly around. It was so peaceful. This little tiny moment made me feel like spring is coming. It is these little sounds that remind me of all the wonderful gifts God as given us and how sometimes you need to just slow down and enjoy the little sounds of Spring.
