The Beauty of Spring

I have been particularly moved by the beauty of Spring this year; partly because we are in an area with so many flowering trees and bushes and probably also partly because I am constantly pointing it out to and enjoying it with my 3 year old and 2 year old. They have been so excited as we have watched the different trees bloom and watched the leaves on the trees burst forth. It is such a testimony to me of the Resurrection and of the New Life offered to us by Christ. Springing forth from what seems to be so dead is the most beautiful and abundant life. The speed at which the leaves burst forth their leaves never ceases to amaze me. As it says in 2 Nephi 11:4: . . .all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him. It is no coincidence that Jesus Christ chose to be resurrected at this time of the year.
