A Time of Change


Seasons come and go.  Spring reminds me of that.  From a cold, sometimes bitter cold, season of ice and snow, the warmth and colors of Spring bring about the rekindling of life.  If you’re in Michigan, like me, that has come earlier to you.  As of recent, change in a season means my oldest has just turned 9 years old.  Amazing.  Absolutely amazing.  I remember like it was yesterday when I held her in my arms after delivery.  Now, she is vibrant, opinionated, and growing up to be a lovely girl (and soon woman).

This chocolate dog-bone cake complemented her puppy-themed birthday party.  It is chocolate on chocolate, one of her favorites.
I am thankful for the change in seasons but, at times, I wish they could remain the same.  Don’t you?  And, yet, without this change, our lives would become mundane, boring, and we wouldn't value what the new season brought.  Easter is quite the marking of change in a season.  It's the holiday that swells church attendance the most.  For some, Easter is a time of rebirth and child-like play with bunnies, chocolates, and candy.  For me, I am reminded of how my former, dead life has been reborn into a full life because of His death and resurrection.

The Easter cake:  tri-colored, 3-tier vanilla cake, cuts like a checkerboard, and iced with cream cheese frosting and Cadbury chocolate eggs.


May you welcome your season of change!  Happy Spring!
