Spring

"Come, let us return to the Lord.  For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.   He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, that we may live before Him.  So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord.  His going forth is as certain as the dawn; and He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth."

Hosea 6:1-3

Isn't is so gracious of the Lord not to turn His back on us when we turn away from Him?  He is faithful even when we are faithless.  Thus we have hope in the Lord Jesus.

Side note: Two of the ewes who are expecting lambs in just a few weeks: Mary is the lighter of them, and Mara the darker.
