Seasons

Life has seasons. Seasons can be weekly, monthly, yearly and even seasons in a whole life. We need to appreciate all different seasons. It comes naturally to "like one season" more than another. Some love spring when new life begins again. Some love fall when colors burst forth by dying leaves. Everyone can share their reason for loving one season more than another there are people who can share the "beauty" of a different season that may be our least liked. One way we can be stolen from is by "not enjoying" all seasons of life. There are good reasons for every season. The sweetest, juiciest fruit only occurs if there are enough "freeze hours" endured by trees in the winter. So while we enjoy the fruit, we need to thank God that the tree did not give up when it was standing leafless in the coldest days of the year. You may be going to a cold hard season right now. I ask you to keep your mind on the fact that when "spring time gets here" you will be eating some of the "sweetest fruit" if you will let God teach you what you need to learn today. When new fruit appears on trees, some falls off before it ever reaches maturity. In fact, if it did not, the limbs would break because they could not hold the weight of all the buds if they lived to maturity. Don't let cold of this hard season stop you from hanging on to enjoy the fruit of the results of this time!
