While thinking about the seasons,
I couldn’t help but think
How our life’s journey is similar
to the different seasons God created.
Sometimes, our walk with the Lord
is like the springtime.
We see things in a new way
and have so much hope.
We are like the budding flowers,
emerging with renewed energy in full bloom.
Other times, our walk with the Lord
is like the good ole summertime.
We rest peacefully knowing He is
in control of our lives.
We enjoy the beauty of each day
and live life to the fullest.
At times, our walk with the Lord
is like the fall time.
We see all the beautiful colors that
surround us,
Yet at the same time, we may grow
tired and weary,
Just as nature begins to slow down
and hibernate.
Once in a while, our walk with the Lord
is like the wintertime–
kind of quiet and barren
maybe even lonely.
The winter can be a time to grow
within and reflect on our journey.
In each season of our journey,
there are good days and bad days–
Just like in the seasons, there are
cloudy days, stormy days,
and bright sunny days.
Each of the seasons has its own beauty
and “specialness”
Just like the seasons
that God’s children experience.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields is fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. –Psalm 1:2-3
See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me. –Song of Songs 2:11-13
Yes! This is so true! One thought that encourages me that even through the greatest storms in life the “Son” is still there we just can’t “see” Him but we need to have faith and believe that He is there ready to carry us through.
Very true, Mrs. Maoirana! Amen!
Thanks for reminding me that I need to be thankful for each season of life that I go through. Blessings to you.
You’re welcome, Dianna. It’s a good reminder we all need. And, blessings to you as well!
A beautiful reflection my friend and so well written. Spring is an incredible season in Minnesota when winter FINALLY comes to an end and green starts to appear everywhere. I was actually thinking about spring and new life as I was doing some planting this week out in the yard. Thank you for this awesome piece my friend!
Thanks for your kind and encouraging words, Sam! We are finally seeing some Spring too (except another frost expected tomorrow night!). I’m glad you could relate to what I was trying to convey. God bless!
Being Able to get out and enjoy all that God has for us will lift our spirits and bring us great JOY

I agree, Marie. God has created a beautiful world for us to enjoy! Just tonight I was hiking through some trails and was amazed at the beauty! God bless.
What a wonderful analogy! I’m pretty sure I’m in my fall season right now. 😉 #bloggercaregroup
Thanks for reading, Amanda! I hope you get to the spring & summer season soon! But, I know we all need to go through the different seasons one step at a time. God bless!
You’ve absolutely nailed it! Amazing how we can learn in the seasons as we go through the different seasons in our lives. Life goes on indeed.
Yes, Lux, there are things to be learned through every season, and I think it’s good to remember that it is okay to go through the different seasons. I am so thankful for your encouragement you always provide, Lux. Blessings to you!
