SEASONS.......
[Ecclesiastes 3:1 ] 1 To everything [there is] a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
As we head into Fall and the nights are cooler we feel the difference of the changing in seasons...it is quite evident in the weather. soon we will be able to see the change as the trees begin to change color and shed their leaves.
Solomon , wasn't talking about the weather or seasons as we think of them...He was talking about the changes in Life's experiences. All of us approach the changes in the Earths season change with different emotions, I personally LOVE fall and all its beauty of Color and fresh smell of the air....and THE COOLER NIGHTS!!!!! I even don't mind winter...However for me I am a homebody by nature..so the seclusion that occurs in winter doesnt bother me too much.....
Spiritual seasons, are met with many of the same emotions. periods of isolation, of joy, of pain, of sadness......like the earthly seasons which we have come to trust and certain of their change...life's season will also pass and change into different climate. the KEY to navigation just like the faith in the natural season is to trust and have FAITH IN THE ONE WHO CREATED THE SEASON.....AND TO BELIEVE THAT WHICHEVER YOU FIND YOURSELF IN IT IS MEANT FOR A GOOD PURPOSE IN YOU!!!!!!
"....IF GOD BRINGS YOU TO IT, HE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH IT!!!!!

God I got to tell you
That you're scaring me to death
You're asking me to do something
I'm not really sure I can

I'm trying to figure out your plan
But the pieces don't fit
But I've been here before
Looking back I must admit

Every time I say yes to you
Seems there's something wonderful
You're waiting to do
Every time I say yes to you
Seems like so many trials
That you're pulling me through
Every time I say yes to you

Even a good season can be daunting because it is something unknown. Even if you know it is a good season when you are going into it, it can be nerve-wracking because you have never been through this before.

But there is comfort in knowing that other people have gone through any season we face, and they have come out alright too.

Thank you for sharing that brother. I just came out of a hard season with my mother going through cancer at the same time COVID was happening. And it seems I am going into another as I have just found out my father has the beginnings of dementia. I'm not sure of the changes ahead and I am the only care taker for my parents as my sister lives too far away. Just, this helped me, so thank you for sharing.
