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
