Lilacs and General Conference

The lilacs are in bloom in central Nebraska early this year! They are almost
finished with their great spring fresh and earthy smell. It is not even close to Mother's Day their usual time of blooming!

I enjoyed taking some photos of lilacs in our yard this spring -- as it is one of my favorite sights and smells in spring. The color of lilac is a favorite too!

Here is one of my photos to share with you!

We can hope and pray that General Conference of the United Methodist Church has such a sweet smell as the lilacs in the next two weeks in Tampa, Florida.

Many of us are hoping and dreaming for signs of HOPE for fully inclusive changes that welcome all of God's Children into our faith communities!

Looking for signs of the RAINBOW after rain and that sweet smell of LILACS in spring as a symbol of HOPE, resurrection and reconciling the next two weeks after forty years in the wilderness!
