FAITHOUGHTS Beautiful and sneezy Pastor Amy Wiegert New life is literally happening around us. It’s one of God’s many reminders there is hope. This year when the first day of above 60 degrees was not until April, I was thankful that once again new plant life is growing. New life. Finally. Praise God! As we settle into our new home, we’re excited to learn what’s growing and blooming this spring. In our yard, we see some perennial grasses and plants appearing and to our surprise, a magnolia tree. Beautiful pink blooms greeted me a few mornings ago. Honestly, new life usually makes me sneezy. At least spring in Illinois makes me sneezy and itchy. Some days I’m miserable just stepping outside. As frustrating as allergies are, it’s beautiful outside. New life is a gift even if it might be a little difficult too. I’m reminded of my friend who was about to be married. Her fiancé was allergic to her beloved cat. And so, she found the cat a new home. She was excited, and devastated at the same time. New things can be wonderful and horrible simultaneously, she remarked. Who knew there was so much grief wrapped up in good and new things? God is doing a new thing at spring time. And God is doing a new thing is us as well, every day. Sometimes we struggle with new things which give us new life. And it’s totally okay to acknowledge and work through. But we absolutely take the beauty with the sneezy. See, I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
