The most difficult step in growing spring flowering bulbs is remembering
to plant them in the fall. Last October I did remember to plant some
tulip and daffodil bulbs in the church flower beds.
Spring flowers announce to me the *cold and snow of winter* is over and
spring is here.
I did borrow the title of this article from the popular hymn, Hymn of
Promise. In 1985 Natalie Sleeth composed both the text and music to
Hymn of Promise. She wrote it at a time when she was *pondering the
ideas of life and death, spring and winter, Good Friday and Easter and
the whole reawaking of the world that happens every spring.*
This spring when tulips and daffodils greet me as I come to church, they
will not only say to me that winter is over and spring is here. Because
of the Hymn of Promise these spring flowers will take on a much deeper
meaning.
THERE IS A REAWAKING OF THE WORLD THAT HAPPENS EVERY SPRING.
