Can't Wait For Spring

Christmas is like nothing else. It brings joy and cheer, for
different reasons in everyone. For most of us here, it is the beautiful
reminder of Christ’s coming down to be with us for a little while before
sending the Holy Spirit to live with us. But it is so cold. So, when I looked
at Hopkins's poems, I went automatically to Spring.

"Nothing is so beautiful as Spring"

I love the reference to Spring being like the garden Eden. Unfortunately, our sin soured that and those happy times, like Spring, sour as well. Which brings me back to Christmas. Because of it, we could have an even more joyful "holiday", Easter! (Which is in the Spring). This poem just reminds me of how we will have Spring, Christmas, Eden, Easter, and God all wrapped up in one once we finally reach Heaven. There's nothing better to work for than worshipping our Lord and Father which I think this poem is a good reminder of.
