When it feels like Spring in your hearts before it does outdoors….

Happy Easter WordPress family, to those of you that celebrate the risen Lord and may the joys of the Easter season be yours. To those of you who do not celebrate Easter I wish you a happy Spring or whatever it is that gladdens your heart and brings you joy and hope. Our prayers go out to those that are suffering or displaced or ill or lost a loved one or away from their families and loved ones. 

Luke 24:6-7 - He is not here; He has risen!

Downtown Toronto…

The good part about going back into the office to work is seeing familiar Toronto downtown sights. Often time in the past while commuting to work in the mornings or returning home in the evenings I have rarely bothered to take in the sights. Today while getting into work I stopped and paused and took out my phone to take a few pictures. I said ‘thank you Lord’ and I made a conscious effort to marvel at the beautiful sights of the City that I have grown to call home. I did the same while returning home, not bothered by the few commuters who glanced my way while eagerly scuttling home. I now have a new appreciation for my City that was mostly shuttered and ghosted in the past two years. 

Hebrew 11:10 - For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

Faces of Winter…

I decided to take some pictures out on a cold winter day and I was pleasantly surprised. The snow was a foot deep and it was frigid, yet the walk revealed a very different story. I saw blue skies and the colours of the setting sun and clouds that peppered the sky and formed moving images. I saw the branches of the trees and leaves laden with snow. I saw a pristine landscape of white, marked in some places with dog tracks and boot prints. I felt refreshed and alive after the walk. 

Isaiah 55:10 - For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it bear and sprout,
And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater.
