Pelicans

The pelicans are back.

On Saturday afternoon, they were soaring in spirals like synchronized swimmers above the dam, and on Sunday morning they were crowding the sand bar and bobbing in the churning water below the dam.

Seeing them return is one of the joys of spring, just like seeing the first color of the season in the crocus blooming beside the driveway.

Pelicans soaring in synchronization and colors bursting from the earth fill me with joy and thankfulness not only because they signal the end of bleak winter, but also because they evidence God's continued provision.

They remind me that every new cycle of springtime and harvest brings us one year closer to the day of Christ’s return.
