Day 81 of Photo Inspirations — Brand New Life
\nYesterday, in front of me in church, I saw a little bit of heaven…..it was a precious newborn baby.  He drew all of us into his world — a least those of us who sat near him.   When he was born, his Mama said “he looks like the other puppies In the basket!”  She would know — he’s the 5th “puppy” to come along into this beautiful family. <\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

We were oohing and aahing at his every little move and facial expression he made, and a dear friend held him close for a few moments and I could tell she was feeling so close to God as she gazed upon his sweet little face.   I know that feel and I know that smell.  He still has heaven’s scent on him.  What inspires me the most about this “brand new life”  is his preciousness, his sweetness, and his purity.  Nothing has tainted his innocence.   <\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Yes, I was inspired and I knew this would be my photo inspiration for this day.  I’ve added an additional photo from his Mama’s FB page — it is her Mom looking into the beautiful face of her grandson — the oldest life looking at this precious “brand new life”.<\/p>\n

I’ve been posting a great deal about the coming of  Spring and the freshness and beauty of the “brand new life” we see all around us.  But of all the beauty that is seen in all the evidences of Spring, still nothing compares to someone that comes to a brand new life in Christ.  2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone. is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”   It’s possible for us to have a “brand new life”.  We can take confidence in knowing that God forgives us and gives us a clean slate, and then He gives us full access to His everlasting love and abundant life.  A brand new life in Christ brings love, joy, peace and a renewed sense of purpose for living.  Isn’t that REALLY what this season is all about?  In just two weeks, we’ll celebrate Easter — Resurrection Sunday — He Who was crucified, was buried and rose again…..brings us SPRINGTIME and gives us a “Brand New Life”.<\/p>\n

My daughter wrote and recorded this beautiful song “Brand New Life” — listen to these words and may you “Come As You Are” to Him who will make “all things new your your life.
