One of my favorite times of the year is spring. Not because my b'day is fast approaching, but for the changes that come with this season. Winnipeg is amazing in the spring with the snow melting revealing the otherwise brown, dead grass and some incredible weather. What country can you go to where you can experince changes from - 40 to + 40. Sadly one of the things that spring reveals is the dreaded pot holes that invades Winnipeg like ants at a picnic. for those who don't know what a pot hole is; imagine driving down the street-- any street and all of a sudden booom you take a dip that seems to take you; your car and supension in another direction. And then you and said car are towed in for some major body work and repairs. Luckily this hasn't happened to me. Cross your fingers.
But the biggest reason to enjoy spring is: Easter. Like Christmas reminds us of the birth of our Savior; Easter reminds me of his death and repentance. Repentance because that is why he died for me and you. I truly love the Gospel of Jesus Christ that teaches me I am a child of God and he loves me even when I make mistakes. I know that through the process of repentance and forgiven I can look forward and continue to progress. What an awesome thought we can and are forgiven, he doesn't remind you again how bad you were---slate wiped clean.
Why do you love spring? Are you looking forward to anything exciting this coming year.
