«О! Spring!!!
I love you!!!
What a stunning time is Spring!!!
I am not sad…
I do not grumble…
I do not sneeze!!!...

 

… This is a peak time!
Soon summer will be here:
Again there will be sun burns and tans…
In a moment Summer arrives and spreads out.
But Spring is a fairy-tale gift!!!

 

О! Spring!!!
Everything is easier with you,
It’s fascinating just to be friends!...
Only in this happy time
Does one come alive and want to live!!!»
("О! Spring! Without end and without edge!")

I’m happy to congratulate you all on this occasion; Spring has finally arrived in Ukraine. This is a time of inspired creation, fellowship, clean-up of all that is old, worn out or unneeded. A time of renewal… A time which brings about wonderful feelings of love and excitement…

I truly hope that this spring will bring you many positive things, good moods and new possibilities. May it also help to cultivate your relationship with God. If you still don’t know Him, then may Spring give you the chance to begin! I hope that each day on the road to work, home or friends, you will look around and take notice of how amazing God’s creation truly is. After all, we don’t need to go far to see this, even if not everything is in bloom or has become green. You can simply rejoice in the light of the sun which warms you with its rays, rejoice with the wind which plays with your hair, rejoice because you can firmly plant your feet on the ground, unafraid of slipping on the ice of winter. This is the process of life returning after winter, it is so impressive. The Lord built everything, thought of everything, he planned each little detail!! And one more thing, maybe you’ve noticed already, but people in general become kinder in the spring. And if you begin to notice these changes around you, you will start to smile, and people around you will notice your smile and will begin to smile themselves. And we all know; a smile makes the world brighter!!!

Blessings to you and your steps to meet this new change in life!

Happy Spring!!!
