Well, I've seen the yellow daffodils, I've seen the red tulips, I've seen the blossoming white and pink trees, and finally yesterday as I went on my 3 mile run, I saw the blooming purple lilacs! I actually smelled their lavender scent in the air before I saw them. Spring is now if full swing, the lilacs have arrived! I just love them and love to breathe in their glorious aroma. They have come out just in time to greet the day we celebrate the risen Savior! This Sunday is Easter!
Lilac aroma sure beats those ealier Spring days where the smell of mulch was so strong, it would almost make me gag. It also beats that fresh scent of newly cut grass! And while I love to see the first sight of the happy daffodil and the elegant tulip, they just don't offer much enjoyment for the nose.
While running amid my favorite Spring blossom, I could only think of the victory of the King, breaking free from the garments and stench of death, rising to new life in robes of royal purple! Lilacs make me think of the Ressurection. Perhaps that's why they are my favorite!
