Seasons

Life is full of ups and downs. As the author of the book of Ecclesiastes says, There is a time for birth and death, planting and reaping, for killing and healing, destroying and building, for crying and laughing, weeping and dancing, for throwing stones and gathering stones, embracing and parting. There is a time for finding and losing, keeping and giving, for tearing and sewing, listening and speaking. There is also a time for love and hate, for war and peace (3:2-8).
We are in the middle of winter at the moment and I have to confess that it's my least favourite season. But I know in six weeks that it will be spring. There will be times in life when you are deliriously happy and other times when you are unbearably sad. If you are experiencing the sad bit now, remember that it is just a season and it will pass. After the winter comes the spring. And don't forget, that Jesus walks with you through all life's seasons.
