Lent 3: The Fasting of a New Thing

"Behold, I am doing a new thing; 

now it springs forth, 

do you not perceive it?" 

Isaiah 43:19. 

I'm writing on the first day of Spring.

This daffodil is, for me, a sign that the harshness of Winter is past and it's time to plan for the new things of Summer. 

Perhaps it will be to revisit a scenic or historic railroad, or to revisit covered bridges, in Vermont, or the coast of Maine.

The daffodil reminds me as well that God is always at work, even when cabin fever increases the desire to get outside, brave the wind driven, bone-chilling temperatures and go for a walk.

Spring says the bleak winter is over, mud season has dried out, sugaring commenced and new things under way.

What new thing is God calling me to do?

Where will God lead? 

What new possibilities are ahead?

What new thing is God encouraging me to do with my "Reflections" blog?

Through whose voice will God say, "consider this "new thing"?

Perhaps you are that voice: What would you say?
