Thankful for Seasons
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Living up north, I’ve learned to appreciate each season as it comes but I have to admit winter is my least favorite. The older I get, the harder it is to make myself bundle to go out in the cold and the snow but I know that winter has a purpose too and, if I can stay inside by the fire, the snow is beautiful.
Spring is my favorite season but I wonder if the beauty of spring is magnified in contrast to the cold and drear of winter. Spring is the time of year we see life appear out of what lied dormant for several months.
As with seasons of earth, each season of life has a purpose and can be beautiful as well. There may be seasons that we like better than others but, with hindsight, we will see God’s hand at each season of our lives and will learn to thank Him for those seasons. He truly does all things beautiful in His time.
