Woodland Lace







Lion or Lamb?

If March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb - and vice versa, right? So what is a March 1st snow storm that dumps 3 inches of white fluff on Alabama daffodils - lion or lamb? I noticed how peaceful and quite it made everything, how like lambs' wool the puffs of snow on each twig were, ... and the Lamb of God came to mind. As I wandered the yard with my camera I couldn't help humming "...now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow... " And then I thought of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. I want the strength of the Lion in my life, but also the gentle ways of the Lamb. Maybe during the
month of March I can borrow a little of both.
