From the Minister's Study
Spring brings sense of vitality, vigour
By Rev. Dave Wood
Huron Chapel Evangelical
Missionary Church
A farmer was driving along the
road with a load of fertilizer. A little
boy, playing in front of his house,
saw him and called, "What've you
got in your truck?"
' "Fertilizer," the farmer replied.
"What are you going to do with it?
asked the little boy.
"Put it on strawberries," answered
the farmer. "You ought to live here,"
the little boy advised him. "We put
sugar and cream on ours."
And very soon, strawberry season
will be here again! Don't you just
love spring with all the exciting
discoveries that it brings'? Bulbs and
plants that were laid into the earth
last fall are, now appearing and for
the life of you, you can't even recall
planting them.
Spring brings with it a sense of
excitement, vitality and vigour. As
flowers bloom and buds appear, the
miracle of growth explodes.
Miracles are around every corner
and this year, a local miracle, Fran
was out transplanting irises!
Growth is amazing and it is always
fascinating to observe how quickly it
takes place. One day a little head is
attempting to peek out of the ground
and the next, a daffodil has taken its
place. It is as if, you turn your head
for a second, and wham!
Kids seem to grow in the same
way and I am beginning to
understand why older folks instruct
that time flies and to make the best
of what time you have.
Jesus kind of said the same thing.
In the Sermon on the Mount He tells
us not to worry about life, what we
will eat or what we will wear.
Yet how much of life is caught up
in just these things? The bent of
much of our world is toward self-
preservation and rightly so, we need
to survive. But in our attempts at
survival have we opted for second
best? Material things define the
pursuit of happiness and has this
pursuit been acclaimed with
success?
Jesus said, "Seek first His

kingdom and His righteousness and
all these things will be given to you."
But the message that is often
heeded is one of non-stop pursuit
that in the end leaves anxiety, worry
and frustration in its wake. Jesus
would remind us, as we witness once
again the miracle of spring, that a
still greater miracle exists. The
Father, who feeds the birds and
clothes the grass of the fields loves,
His children and if but given the
chance, will prove His love in the
provision that He is more than
willing to make.
This spring, consider the lilies of
the field, the birds of the air, the
miracles of nature and the One who
is able to meet all your needs in
Jesus!

Fit to be tied
Actually only the quilt was tied up as bidders did a lot of
waving at the St. Ambrose Catholic Church auction and
dinner on Friday night. Auctioneer Jim Campbell looks
around the edge of the quilt held by Henry Grobbink to
make sure he gets every last bid. Proceeds from the event
will be used to support World Youth Days. ,(David Blaney photo)
