The other day the Lord and I went on one of our “Love Walks”. It was his way to get me outside and to move my legs after I had been sitting at my desk for long hours while working on the launch of several projects the Lord has me focused on right now. So, at a certain point, God said, “Come on, let’s go outside”.

I was a gorgeous day, one of those perfect late spring days where the sun is bright, the skies are blue, the clouds are perfectly white and fluffy, low humidity and a soft breeze. It had rained a bit the night before and cooled things down considerably after having several days with temperatures near or above 90 degrees. And on this day, it seemed as if EVERY flower 🌼was in full bloom. At almost every patch or flowering tree, I would stop to both gaze at and smell the blooms. Mmmmmm sooo fragrant.

As many of you in this community know, God often speaks to me in nature using his creation to explain either Kingdom principles, as Jesus did with his parables, or he will also use them to illustrate to me the spiritual things that are currently happening.

I love springtime especially because new life is on full display all around us. The fragrance of freshness, the perfume of flowers, the gorgeous greens and pastels combine to create such a wonderful experience for me. But what I love most about the spring season is what it represents. It’s nesting season, birthing season, and graduation season for God’s creatures.

My mom passed away in early April, so I traveled home to Philadelphia to be with my family as we prepared her “Life Celebration” services and ourselves for the final “earthly farewell” to her. So, in the midst of making all of these arrangements, my brother and I decided to take a break and get away from the heaviness of things.

Since we both enjoy getting outdoors and going on hikes and nature walks, that’s just what we did
