Seasons come and seasons go. I love Spring, the buds on the trees begin to show a multitude of colors as they start to turn into leaves. Daffodils and Tulips emerge from their sleep. The birds begin to fill the air with their songs. It is a time of new beginnings. Summer is beautiful with all the wonderful colors throughout the land. Birds sing, frogs croak, crickets make their sound, bees are everywhere keeping our plants alive. Going on long hikes, being out in the open and enjoying the dog days of summer. Fall sneaks in and lets us know winter is on its way. The beauty of autumn. The reds, the golds, the rust, and oranges are everywhere and the rustle of the leaves under your feet reminds you of your younger days. The days are warmer preparing you for winter. Then winter comes, oh the beauty of the snow across the land. Going sledding, hot cocoa, warm fires and a good book. Baking, laughing and wishing spring would come again. Our life is like the changing of the seasons. There is beauty but also hardness and ugliness. You choose how to see your life. Is it a good life with beauty or are you miserable and see only pain and heartache? The choice is yours and yours alone how you view your life. God gave us life. There is good, bad, and not so good, but it is our life. Today choose to see the good. Smile, enjoy, laugh, and dance because you never know what is around the corner. Life is life so make the best of it. Ecclesiast 3 reads, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens…God has made everything beautiful in its time.” Enjoy and remember this is the first day of the rest of your life. God Bless. Amen.
