Revive us again

Anyone who lives in the Midwest knows how long and cold this past winter has been.  I don't know if I have ever appreciated green grass and budding trees as much as I have once Spring finally decided to stick around.

This little guy poked up out of the corner of our flowerbed yesterday.  What a delight to see yet another sign of Spring.  We didn't plant him, or even know that he existed.  It makes me want to plant bulbs in every yard we call our own, just so that others can enjoy the surprise.

Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?  Show us your steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.  

Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.  Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.  Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.  Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.  Psalm 85:6, 10-13
