Of Robins, Sunshine, and Soup

This weekend, my husband and I watched a robin through a window as she began building her nest in the same place she returns to each year. Watching her work diligently to create a sturdy, safe home for her little ones was precious to witness. 

I used to dread spring as it meant my beloved winter was coming to an end, but over the years, I have come to realize that this season is truly special. The springtime rain brings greenery all around us, the gardens are beginning to bloom, and there is a palpable excitement in the air as we embrace the warmth of the shining sun.

Today, I am grateful for the blessing of spring⸺for a fresh, new season that is full of beauty, new life, and charm. Spring reminds us that there is always hope to be found, that the sun will shine again, and that God is faithful to bring forth new life and mercies in His timing. 

As we transition out of the cold winter into early spring, a simple soup recipe is still most welcome. Below is the tortellini soup my mother often makes for me when we’re visiting my parents’ home, shared with her permission. Spring vegetables like carrots, spinach, and peas shine in this recipe, creating a meal that is both nourishing and comforting for this time of year.

I am praying for a peaceful, abundant spring for you and your loved ones.
