Renewal

Frequently we experience new beginnings as cold and darkness are dispersed. The dawn of a new day and the spring of each year seem to prefigure the time when the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisaical glory.
What an amazing world the Lord has created for us! Here are some of spring photos that my daughter and I took. I hope you will enjoy them. May we all be blessed by the beauties around us.
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. . . Song of Solomon 2:12
For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Isaiah 51:3

I want to be the first to comment on this blog. I am very proud of my friend Sharon. She is my favorite poet and has garnered many state and national awards for that gift. She has more poems published in the Ensign than any other poet. Now, in addition to that, she has been progressing in her talent as a photographer in the past few years. These photos take my breath away. This bottom photo is one of my all time favorites out of hundreds of photos I’ve seen that Sharon has done. I think of it as The Tree of Life.

Sharon, you are very talented. I’m not sure what I like better, your poetry or your photos. Those scriptures are a nice compliment to the pictures.

I can’t wait for this old earth to turn back into paradise. I’d be satisfied if it ended up looking as good as those photos. Lifts the spirits.

It seems like Sharon has been blogged a lot recently. Should not she be elevated to non-guest blogger on this site? I understand that she may not be want to commit herself to this blog, but like the majority of bloggers elsewhere, they only do it when they can — which can be as less as once a month. I am sure Sharon will not run out of beautiful comments and wisdom anytime soon! I move that this should be considered by administrator.
Sharon, thank you for sharing with us your talents, as well as your love for God. You really do deserve to be recognized more than a “guest” blogger!

SGS, I will talk to Terrie when she gets back later this week. Technically it is her blog. I am glad you appreciate Sharon, as do I.
