Psalm 147:8 | NancyC

Yesterday snowflakes were softly falling and it was looking more like a December winter wonderland outside than an almost-spring day, especially considering I’m in the south. My friends and I are so ready for spring to come–it’s just 3 weeks away, but when you see all the snow you wonder if it will ever get here. And I was wondering just that when I saw this quote on Pinterest. So if you, too, have been wondering if spring will ever come, it will! Maybe not as soon as we’d like, but it definitely will!

He dispatches His Word, and the thaw begins; at His command, the spring winds blow, gently stirring the waters back to life. PSALM 147:18

We’ve had lots of rain this spring and summer and everything is so green and lush and pretty. And the blackberries are growing well this year, which I’m really excited about! I love blackberries–eating them just the way they are, using them in smoothies, or baking with them. I took this picture with my iPhone—this is one of the bushes I picked blackberries from. I thought they looked so pretty the day I was picking. Can’t wait to use the berries in a few recipes—and I’ll be sharing them with you!
