Seasons Change

The headline in yesterday's local paper read something to the affect of, "Area prepares for Winter". We were supposed to get some snow, which up to now has not materialized. I know the kids are going to be disappointed; they are out of school on a cold, wet, muddy day. But, again, up to this point, no snow.

Then, later in the week, we are supposed to experience temps in the upper 50s/low 60s. So, if we are preparing for winter, it is going to be short. This particular winter has been extremely rainy, with several giant deluges. We have had wet, muddy yards for the last couple of months. It can be really depressing, if you allow it. But, the good thing about seasons is they change.

Today's word is Ecclesiastes 3:1, NIV, which reads, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."

There is a proper time and place for everything. You can't grow tomatoes outside during the winter, and it doesn't snow in June. On the flip side, you can grow tomatoes in June, but you will probably also experience 100 degree days.

Same holds true in our lives: there will be seasons of great growth and seasons of dormancy. Whatever season you find yourself in, just no that it won't be like this forever - seasons change.

Be Blessed,
