It is great to see changes that spring brings, like with the blossoms on this wild cherry tree. It would be amazing if every blossom produced a cherry. But if past seasons are an indicator, this tree will end up with a modest number of small cherries.

It reminds me of the following verses about a big change.

I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:50-52

It is something to look forward to and trust in God for. To learn more, read the entire chapter at
