Spring is in the air! We’re saying goodbye to Winter and hello to a fresh new start with stories that inspire hope and make you want to sing. We’ll start with “Spring” by Tim Lowry, in which he’ll share memories that remind him of Spring in his native South Carolina. Next you’ll hear Dan Keding’s story of a thief who found redemption and a start at a new life. We’ll wrap it all up with a medley of songs from John McCutcheon, where he’ll reminisce about becoming a grandfather and watching his children grow up. We hope you’ll find some hope in these stories and some joy in Springtime on today’s episode of the Apple Seed!
