Seasons

Feeling the crisp Autumn air on my checks and cramming my hands deeper into my pockets to ward off the chill.

Seeing crimson red leaves covering the green grass. Leaves of mustard color fall from the trees. scoop of leaves and carry them off to my room as if I can some how recreate atmosphere the tree n my humble room.

Cravings arising within me to bake pies with flaky buttery crusts and cinnamon apples for the filling.

Days grow shorter and the bed becomes a ball and chain not willing to release its prisoner on chilly mornings. Not that prisoner desires to leave the place of such delight.

Me dislikes cold, especially my feet which never seem to obtain a level of warmth in the winter

But the change of seasons makes me happy. All those little adventures that a new season brings. So much anticipation of things to come

"For everything there is a time and a season "

Seasons of life. Seasons of struggle and learning and seasons of deep happiness. Seasons of unending weariness and seasons of so much joy that everything spills over into a wonderful sea of blessings.

Whatever the season may be let us embrace it.

Perhaps it is a season of trial and pain, but know this, it is only for a season.

 Perhaps it is a season of beautiful happy times, but know this, God is to be clung just as tightly too in those times of pleasure.

For in every season God has His purposes in our lives and no season is better than the other. Perhaps we know not the purpose, but we do know the character of our God and we can know we will always be taken care of.

Every perfect thing is from our Father. Every thing...and that is what makes each season, so lovely.

And so I will drink lots of tea and wear three pairs of socks and savor every pleasant and every unpleasant thing about this season and some how my wandering heart will learn to do the same with God.

Please excuse while I go fetch some more socks :) .
