Pondering spring... and hope

I'm thinking about spring... and hope. Finally here in the north it is getting warmer. The sun is shining and the grass is greening up. It reminds me of Psalms 30:5b Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. In the darkness of loss, it doesn't feel like you will ever laugh, or sing again. Psalms 40:3 says "But He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise to our God;"But verse 2 says why: "He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. The pit is horrible... but there is an end, there is spring at the end of winter and hope at the end of loss.
