! Spring Has Sprung !

Spring has sprung in Labrador...

At last!  Not that there's anything wrong with the winter season - but the shoveling of the steps every day did get a little old.  Signs of spring..... dandilions appear first, longer days, bright daylight at 4:00 am and dark at 11:00 pm, one day is freezing temperatures and 6 hours later is 80 degrees, the sun is beautifully warm and the air is cool; birds begin to sing; the skidoos make way for the 4-wheelers, dust storms, lingering snow turns brown from the sand, the river ice breaks up and pushes downstream - getting stuck then freeing itself, boats & seadoos emerge, and fresh trout!  Enjoy these visual signs below as we worship the loving Christ that springs forth with new life; through His resurrection, we are redeemed in perfect love.
" Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water." Psalm 114:7-8
"The Lamb on the Throne will shepherd them, will lead them to spring waters of Life. And God will wipe every last tear from their eyes." Revelation 7:17
"When that time comes, I will make a fresh and true shoot sprout from the David-Tree. He will run this country honestly and fairly. He will set things right."  Jeremiah 33:15
As soon as the Northern Ranger makes its first run up the coast; Elizabeth (85), lifelong fisherwoman, sails to Rigolette.  We won't see her until November.  A bless-ed woman!
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him,  rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught,
abounding in thanksgiving.   Colossians 2:6-7
