I walked outside early last week and low and behold I saw my daffodil's poking their leafs up through snow and as funny as it may sound that made me so happy. I ran inside and grabbed my two little boys and took them outside to look at those tiny shoots. I'm sure they thought I was crazy, and since it was so cold they just wanted to go back inside. I then immediately called my husband at work and told him. I was that excited.
Here's why: It has been a cold winter, with snow on the ground for a good part of it. My beautiful flowers look dead. My trumpet vine is bare and is seemingly gone. The trees are barren. But here, underneath the earth life is starting to work its wonder once more. New buds are breaking forth even in the still cold earth. And soon the daffidils and the crocus' will bloom. Then the lilacs and lilies and roses. They all break forth in bloom. Winter does not last forever.
So what does this have to do with being a mother? Now is the time to celebrate. Our lives, our children's lives, the miracle of bringing forth life. Life can be hard, and cold and barren at times, but spring reminds me that it is not always so and that life will prevail. It is a time to celebrate life.
