LIFE IS FILLED WITH SEASONS

Crystal Weber 01-13-12

It is quite obvious, life is filled with seasons.  Seasons of joy and success, seasons of pain and failure.  If you are in a high place enjoy it and don’t take it for granted.  Don’t be shocked when it eventually leaves but take heart as it will return someday.  If you are in a low place learn from it and don’t let it keep you down for too long.  The circle of life will keep on spinning so “this too shall pass”.  Just keep on the bike and keep on pedaling.

On a less serious note, the weather of our world is also in seasons.  We go from spring, summer, fall, winter.  I love spring, summer, and fall!  Winter is lucky it is the holiday season :) 

This year has been unseasonably warm and I'm loving every minute of it.  However, after being in the 50 degree range for temperatures earlier this week, yesterday it finally happened… it snowed.  In fact, around 5 or 6 inches and a wind chill below zero.  But eventually the snow will melt, the temperatures will warm, and spring will be knocking on our door.  I will be ready to let it in – I come down with spring fever every year at the beginning of January. 

So… whatever season you are currently in, know that you will not be in that season forever.  Stay positive and be brave and keep putting one foot in front of the other.  You have so many wonderful experiences and amazing opportunities set to come your way so get ready!  Now go out and don’t just live – but live in truth and boldness~

 

To Every Thing There is a Season - Ecclesiastes 3. 1-8
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
