Seasons

Oh how I love the seasons!

I love the changes each one brings... summer brings sunshine, green grass, plants in full bloom, and trips to the cottage. Fall is beautiful with it's ever-changing leaves and brisk air, there's something truly refreshing about that cool air in the morning, with the frost covered ground and deep reds and yellows in the trees. I love the sound of the leaves crunching below your feet every step you take through the woods... Winter is one of my personal favorites. I know this goes against the norm, but I truly love the cold air and the snow-globe look it has when the big snow flakes are falling so gracefully to the ground. I love the big "storms" we have that cover everything with mountains of snow that looks like powdered sugar has come to rest all over and ice has frozen the trees. I love it when you wake up in the morning and the sun is glinting off of those frozen trees! Spring is the season where everything comes to life again. The grass turns green, the trees bud, the flowers start to peek their heads out of the ground. It's really all quite something, isn't it?

The seasons of weather are really quite similar to the seasons of our own lives. Have you ever noticed this? Think about it for a moment. Are you enjoying a joyous time in your life where you feel like everything is in bloom? Are you transitioning into a different season? Life is always changing and will never stop changing. Some seasons we wish would never end and others we would love to skip if we could! The reality is though, we can't stop the seasons from coming and going. The best thing to do is to enjoy or at the very least learn everything you can from the season you're in. Try to be content with where you are at.

No matter where you are at, God loves you. He has never forsaken you and He never will. He wants to walk through every season with you and teach you things while you're there! Take a look outside and find something beautiful with your surroundings. Now, look at your life, what's beautiful in your life? Thank God for it!
