I saw a buzzard today. My Dad used to say that the day you saw the first buzzard was the first day of Spring. My Mom would say when the daffodils bloomed. Patty saw her first garage sale today, making it officially Spring.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:32-33 When the fig tree has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that Jesus is near, right at the door.

It seems that world events are accelerating towards the day Jesus returns. I anxiously await that day, and every morning, I pray, “Please come today, Lord, today!”

Jude 1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

Titus 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

Those eagerly looking for the Lord Jesus live with anticipation, faith, joy, and hope. They are people who don’t fret much about problems in life; they are quick to share the gospel with others; they forgive easily and quickly, laugh a lot, and enjoy life, though they are anxious for it to be over.

Philippians 3:20-21 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory,

I can’t wait!
