Warm and dry
A gap above the door of Merle's garden shed provides a safe, secure environment for numerous insects to hibernate during the winter. Merle reflects on the ability of these creatures to read the signs of the seasons and respond accordingly - do we have this ability?

Diamonds in the grass
As Merle looked out at the beautiful scene displayed on her lawn early one morning, she reflected upon the encouragement we can draw from the wonder of nature.

Patience/ respect
A blackbird nesting in the woodshed and keeping a watchful eye upon her chicks caused Merle to reflect upon patience, hard work and respect for each other.

Standing strong
The spring flowers in the tubs on Merle's patio were still standing upright after a night of strong winds and rain, causing Merle to reflect upon how we face challenges in life.

A lesson for the learning
An overgrown ivy gave Merle's neighbours a problem and taught Merle how important it is not to neglect those things which trip us up.

A costly interruption
A video clip of two robins sent by her sister-in-law caused Merle to think about how we should react when things we have been planning and working for are interrupted.

Hope
Two early Spring flowers remind Merle of sunny days ahead and the determination and perseverance needed in difficult times.

An encouraging surprise
A very early flowering narcissus in Merle's garden was an encouraging surprise and reminder of the faith and hope we have in Christ.
