Good Morning!! I live in the middle of our country, where we experience all four distinct seasons,...each with its own unique purpose and beauty. Yet we often complain of winter's bitter cold and snow, while waiting impatiently for spring. Or we wish that summer's heat would in, and long for the refreshing coolness and colors of fall. How much happier we could be if we learned to joyfully embrace each season as it comes.
...be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."—Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)
Our lives have seasons too,...our childhood is a time of physical growth and learning. Young adulthood is typically the time to find our life's work, and to establish a home. During our middle years, many of us may explore new interests and deepen our spiritual life. Often, our twilight years are a time when we may move more slowly, savor our relationships with God and people, in a new way. We see and accept our mortality with serenity, and a richer faith. All of these seasons are gifts from God. We would be wise to savor whatever season of life we are in, because unlike the seasons of the year, our life's seasons will never come again
Appreciating God's present work in us can help us let go of impatience and regret.
God of all times, teach us to savor the season of life in which we live, knowing that you are leading us into the future You have prepared. Amen.
"When all else fails, only the love of God prevails."
