Watching Spring go thru it's cycle -- the redbuds, the daffodils, then the bradford pears, and now the dogwoods and azaleas -- I keep thinking about the Christmas lights on trees and bushes just a few months ago.
Spring is something like that; you go, ooooh...look...wow...
Only there's not a bit of ladder climbing, roof crawling or light stringing done. It all just happens and we get to watch.
At Christmas, if you don't do the work, you don't get the dazzle (at least not at your house).
At Spring, the work's all done and there's nothing to do but be in awe.
Maybe it's just me, but thinking back to Christmas lights, they look kind of...clunky? Forced? ...compared to what's happening now.
Is there something to that? Man-made = work for your reward; God-made = recieve what's already done.
So which display do you enjoy more, think is more impressive -- Christmas or Spring?
