Seeing the greenery around me either in the city or when I get the opportunity to drive to a beautiful place gives me hope. There is always new life springing forth, be it buds on a tree or flowers growing. I used to be one that preferred the Fall. I love the colors and the hints of a new season.

But I think this current season provides more hope. At times when personally things are challenging, I can look out and see that things will continue to change, perhaps, but there will always be beauty in the midst of the struggles.

Thank God for beauty.
