Every year about this time in my driveway, a small sprout pops up. This little cluster of leaves soon grows into a bush. The next thing you know, there is a beautiful bush full of purple flowers! It will blossom and blossom till it gets tired! I don’t know? It will then dry up and die. The next year comes and it starts all over again the beauty and wonder of the cycle of life!
At Family First we celebrate that wonder every day! A young mother, sometimes a mom and dad together come into the center, they need a pregnancy test. They don’t know how it happened?! A seed was planted, a child is born! The next 9 months are busy for our new expecting couple, Family First is there to help along the way with prenatal care classes, baby items, and getting them ready for the new life on the way! After the new child is born, parenting classes, diapers, and clothes. A family is born, children are raised, a beautiful bush of purple flower, and so it starts again!
It is at this time of year we celebrate that wonder of life, the life given to us by God! God sent His Son Jesus to be that seed that died, went into the ground and like our small bush, came back to life! This life is everlasting.
Take time to celebrate the life God has given to us all this spring, celebrate the wonder of it all!
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” John 3:16
