Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

You know, Lord, a book of devotions began each month with a three-line verse (author unknown) entitled “Gifts of the Season.”

February’s gift was The Seed. “Planted in winter’s dark womb, prayer seeds germinate, creating new growth.” We were to trust You, Lord, working unseen, waiting quietly for answers to our prayers.

The Wind is the Gift of the Season for March: “Touch of Spirit’s breath offers lift to kites and prayers as March winds praise God.” In March, we’re to pray that this month’s breezes will remind us of the Holy Spirit’s uplifting presence in all of our comings and goings.

Spring...
