Norma and I admired this cherry blossom a few months ago, on our walk to the cemetery where our youngest son was buried earlier this year. The trees were bursting into life after a long, cold winter, and reminded us of the believer’s sure and certain hope:

“…when … this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? … thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor. 15:53-57)
