The first day of spring as with the ancients, your birthday, the day that loved one said those words that changed your whole life? Only God knows when He started our planet spinning in its orbit, that was the beginning of our earth years. When? Does it really matter? Let’s go back to the quote ‘place your hand into the hand of God - better than light • safer than a known way’. As we go into this new period of time, the unknown, let us place our faith in Him. He will let us walk it> the light of His love, safely into THE WAY.
