April is here, and Easter is just around the corner!
I truly cherish this time of year. There’s no celebration more meaningful than the one that honors our risen Savior—hallelujah!
Here in Florida, the weather is still lovely, with just a hint of the summer heat and humidity to come. Most days are warm, breezy, and beautiful.
I often think back to my years in Kentucky and Indiana, where April brought the first glorious signs of spring—cheerful daffodils, bright forsythia, blooming redbuds, and tulips and hyacinths popping up in every garden.
