Bought these hyacinths the other day without knowing what colour they will be. They haven't begun to emit the distinctive Spring aroma yet either. But one of these mornings we will arise to both colour and aroma. It's certain! Has Lent been a time when we have begun to emerge from the bulb in the ground state to a new life of promise and beauty? Will AnnaBeth's hyacinths be white? or pink? or ? What has been formed in you in your Lent emergence as you have dwelt on your finiteness, failures and futilities, on your humanness? Has the repenting of the season given you hope about the newness of your resurrection in Christ? The apostle Paul inspires us to forget what is past and to press on..
Let's look forward eagerly to what has been formed in the dark soil and now is ready to blossom and delight!
