Timeless Truth 

As long as the earth remains, There will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat,
          winter and summer, day and night.  Genesis 8:22 NLT

Thoughtful Wisdom

“Lent (literally ‘springtime’) is meant to be the church’s springtime, a time when, out of the         
darkness of sin’s winter, a repentant, empowered people emerges. No wonder one
          liturgy refers to it as ‘this joyful season.'” – Readings for Lent and Easter, Plough

       “If spring came but once in a century instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound
          of an earthquake and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in 
          all hearts to behold the miraculous change.”  – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
