Henry Kelâ€" When the Springtime of the year rolls around and God is so close to earth and we are so near to heaven, we always take to writing little jetters to God and some of what we write is this. . . Dear God It is April now, and in April when the first robin appears and the world ‘~Is sweet with Springtime weather, my. Winter. weary heart just longs ~to send You a letter. Somehow the prayers of every day, which is . my usual whay, of talking with You, will not do. For You see, my ~every day prayers are formal, they are overburdened with supplication and gratitude and you are too close to me, in April, for formality. 8o I want to speak with You, as I wuold speak with any other friend, â€"~tried and true, in simple everyday phrases. There was little song. So many people, especially me, felt the weight of pain and the chill wind of doubt. â€" Sometimes it seemed as if there were‘nt enough fires, actual coal and wood fires and fires of the spirit to create even:‘a fictitious warmth. w And when other folks and me too, had nearly reached the breaking pointj You lighted the eternal fires of Spring with their wonâ€" drous glow and healing powers and discouraged hearts began to sing and we who had bowed beneath pain lifted faces to Your blue sky again, those o‘z us who shivered and shuddered away from the frostâ€" laden winds of doubt found new hope aswe stood and watched the patches of green begin to show, through the long Winter‘s snow.
