Spring -- the simplest pleasure of all.
Green grass emerges unbidden.
Annuals pop up, where cold, seemingly barren earth lay.
Even my walk seems effortless, simple.
The sun warms gently now; it will glare in the coming months.
The corner where I contended with biting cold just weeks ago today brings only refreshing simplicity.
As I rest in the simplicity, it invades my heart, my soul...
and I remember.
I need not roll the stone away.
I simply lift my head and believe.
Linking up today with Imperfect Prose. Won't you come along?

What beautiful words! I got excited looking at the little sprouts of growth in my garden this morning. God has blessed us with many 'simple' wonders!
I thought that prose quite beautiful, Laura.

"I need not roll the stone away.
I simply lift my head and believe."...oh the simple truth of this!
It is finished....even the stone was rolled away, so we could see in...I love that an angel sat casually on top, asking people what they were looking for:)
I need not roll the stone away...yes, yes!
How refreshing, no stones in the way...
Simple pleasures, simple truths...though simple, they are the deepest of them all.
Love this.
I'm still a stone roller...but...
Faith is right – and the others - it is so simple and beautiful. God is the most complicated simple thing and the most simple complicated thing. There is evidence for the faith – but in the end it comes. down. to. this. “simply lift my head and believe”.{smiling}
God bless and keep you and all of yours.
