A conversation about nothing in particular

I know i wished for sun the other day. Ann is right.

Anybody want to learn how to change to most any font you want?

I'm up to the challenge.

Actually, I love the change of seasons and miss that very much having lived in Florida many years. I like summer but I appreciated it much more living in a much colder climate up north in Michigan and Maine. After months of frigid snowy weather you really look forward to the warmer months. Spring is delightful because everything is coming back to life, summer is interesting because of thunderstorms and you can walk around in shorts if you want, fall is gorgeous because of the colors but a little sad to because things start to die, winter is a cold dark place but I do enjoy the occasional extreme snowfall. All of the seasons have meaning for me. In Florida you generally have 2 seasons, hot and hotter. People get through the summer here the same way that people get through the winter, one hot or cold day at a time.

Hello everyone - tourist - I agree - I love all the seasons too - the seasons all have something of God to offer us. Or should I say, all of God has something to offer us in the seasons? Hmmm.

Whether we are prepared for it or not, the seasons of our life are going to change. Those who recognize when a new season is dawning and embrace it with gusto are the ones who will get the most out of life.

Unfortunately, many of us tend to hold on to seasons long after their expiry date! It becomes clear to others that winter has set in on a particular role or relationship, yet we tenaciously cling to it because we are fearful of what lies ahead. Even though some no longer receive joy from their job or their job performance is slipping or they no longer enjoy favor from their boss, they refuse to consider that God has a new assignment for them.

Conversely, some people are too anxious to move on to a different season in their life so they don’t fully embrace the one they are presently in. Teenagers can be too quick to get married and have children without considering the possibilities they have to obtain further education or to travel and gain new experiences. Or retirees can grieve the absence of their career so that they miss the amazing new springtime opportunities God has waiting for them in the springtime of their retirement years.

The key is to recognize the season you are in and to embrace it enthusiastically! The more I look at this, the more I recognize that God has specific purposes for each season of my life. As I learn to recognize the season I am in, I can also detect God’s purposes for me.

What's great is - regardless of where we live - God always has a new season approaching in our lives. Do we know what season we are currently in? Are we thriving in it? As Jonathan Swift once said, “May you live all the days of your life.” Life is not meant to be endured; it is intended to be savored. May we all fully embrace the life God has for us a His Children!

Thx Deade this was fun to change the font too.
