I really like this group from Indiana. I love their sound. This song makes me smile every time I hear it on my playlist of songs...as well as tear up a bit (weird, huh?). They do a great job (the song begins at about 7 seconds into the video)::

It's SPRING!!!!!!!!
“And the day came when the wish to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” — Anais Nin
Once again, we are enjoying the beauty of springtime and what is blooming in our new yard!!!

Opened Eyes
Here are a few videos that have touched my heart. This first one makes me think of the old law, there for all to see and to know. You can give to it and be blessed or you can walk away, but the law is there. What the man with sight and heart does for the man who is blind is, to me, a picture of Jesus.
Jesus did not really change the law. We were blinded by our own effort in the steps we had to follow. No, He did not abolish what God had set up since the beginning....He fulfilled it. Christ showed what the heart of God's instructions really was, it showed in how He came to save us with His sacrifice, His resurrection and the giving of words of truth. Though this blind man still could not see how beautiful the day was with the sun reflecting off the water, the smiles of the children around him, the joy of those giving, their hearts touched and compelled to help and to share, his eyes, in a way were opened. They were opened to grace. They were opened to hope. They were opened to words that gave him a new life and outlook that day.
Praise the Lord that Jesus does more than that for us. Not only does he open our hearts, He heals us through and through. And it does not just end when the sun sets for the day, but His grace and mercy follows us day by day, moment by moment, breath by breath.
