Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 states, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what 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" (ESV)
Seasons is defined as an indefinite or unspecified period of time; a while
A while, that's how long I feel like I've been in some of my seasons. A while, I some how wish that didn't seem as long as it sounds. A while, seems like the end is never going to come. A while, yea, it really is as long as it sounds. However long a while is, guess what it does come to an end. That's the best part, the part that I hold onto.
We have four season: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Every season has different elements that come along with it. Spring time brings a light breeze, rain showers and the blooming of new flowers. Summer is know for the blazing hot temperatures, day light is longer, people flock to the beaches to soak up the sun and there are a lot of vacations taken. The Fall season is my favorite. It brings a change of colors for the leaves, at night the air is nice and crisp, there are a lot of fall festivals and fairs to attend and it brings the cooler temperatures. The Winter season is very cold (depending on where you live), you might get snow, rain, sleet all in one day. One of my favorite holidays, is in the Winter season; Christmas. Another good thing about the Winter season is my birthday!!
In life we are going to face different seasons; a light breeze, hot summers, change of colors, a lot of snow, sleet and even heavy rain. How we handle those elements are what's important. We don't need to have on less clothing when the snow and sleet is coming at us. We need to make sure we have on our rain coats or have an umbrella in our hands when the rain, life's trails, start pouring down on us. Although you may love to be out in the sun, take some some sunblock with you. You don't want to get burned. You want to be able to withstand each season and their elements as they come. Please be prepared physically and spiritually. (Ephesians 6: 10-18)
Some of the seasons that I've been through, I have to admit, I wasn't prepared. It took me "a while" to get out of those seasons and I did not like that at all. I will say that during those seasons, it made me a better person. I was better prepared for the next season. Keep in mind that each season has it's good and bad aspects. Of course I enjoy the good aspects more then the bad but every season can't be all peaches and creme.
I'm stronger and I'm becoming a better person - through each season. Thank God there are only four [natural] seasons, if there were any more, I don't know if I could handle it! *smile*
No matter how long or short your season is just be prepared. It might be over in a blink of an eye or it might take a while! Just remember each season is to make you stronger and it will prepare you for the next season.
