When the Flowers Bloom
It is the Saturday before Easter Sunday—a day set apart, quiet yet filled with expectancy. The world seems to pause, suspended in a hush of reflection. This day, sacred in its stillness, invites us to contemplate the teachings of Jesus: of compassion and forgiveness, of humility and grace, of life beyond the grave and the eternal promise of renewal.
In this holy hush, I step outside, and the first thing I see is my apple tree in bloom. Its branches, once stark and bare through winter’s grasp, now shimmer with color—petals of deep pink and fuchsia bursting open like tiny declarations of hope. Each blossom a hymn. Each leaf a whisper of life reborn.
There’s something magical about this Saturday—not quite the celebration of Easter Sunday, but more a reverent waiting. A remembering. A looking inward. And amid this gentle space, memories stir—of dyed eggs drying on newspapers spread across the kitchen table, of sticky fingers from sneaking jellybeans, of laughter echoing through houses filled with family and food and the pastel pageantry of spring.
And yes—of Easter lilies standing tall in vases, their white trumpets echoing a silent hallelujah.
But the apple blossoms, oh—they offer their own kind of gospel. They speak in color, in fragrance, in the gentle unfolding of petals that somehow say: It is time. You made it through. Begin again.
Is this not, then, a lesson in itself?
When the flowers bloom, they teach us without words. They remind us of life’s eternal rhythm—that after every winter, there is a spring. After every silence, a song. After every sorrow, the possibility of joy. The world awakens, not in a blaze, but in a soft and certain unfolding.
It is a time of promise.
A promise that beauty will return.
That color will once again paint the canvas of our days.
That no matter how long the darkness lingers, the light is patient, waiting to rise.
So today, on this sacred Saturday, I give thanks—for blossoms and beliefs, for lilies and laughter, for colored eggs and quiet contemplation. For the sweet scent of the apple tree in bloom and the message it brings:
Live. Begin again. Let your heart flower with hope.
