SEASONS OF CHANGE

THE FOUR SEASONS: SPRING SUMMER FALL WINTER

The seasons of life are very much like the seasons of the environment of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.  There are changes with every season.  As you reflect on the picture, although nothing shifts, you will note that each season brings a change to the existing picture. 

The view CHANGES with every season:

Spring is a fresh, perhaps a new beginning. Trees are flowering in color and everything is lustrous and blooming. 

 

Summer comes with the heat and fullness of life.  The fruits may be producing and the intensity of the weather maybe unbearable.  There might be some scorching to the plants and other livestock.  

Then comes the fall season that changes the color of things. The variation of colors brings an awareness and brings things into perspective as they can now be differentiated and categorized.  The leaves are falling, and the changes are taking place rather quickly. The anticipation of winter brings preparation.

Finally, at long last, winter is here.  The colors are not only faded, but the trees are now empty and bare.  The cold winter breeze and fallen snow have caused a chill that creates a longing that calls for spring.  

The seasons are cycles that call for change.  There are lessons to be learnt in every season as well as adjustments to last through the season.  It will depend on how well you embrace each season.

TODAY'S FOCUS:  WEATHERING THE SEASONS

Each season plays an important role and teaches various lessons.  It also call for some techniques to survival.  To survive, you must learn to weather the seasons by being accepting and embracing your specific season and being content.  

You must see yourself, be yourself and acknowledge yourself in each season. As reflected in the pictures, while some things remain, the seasons come and will change the look of things, but should also prepare you for the oncoming season.

Picture yourself spiritually and physically in every season- Do you see you in....

Spring - Are you flowering and budding, beaming with delight and excitement?

Summer - Hot, passionate, on fire, producing fruits and yielding increase?

Fall - Are you preparing others to take your place, training and moving forward to your next assignment? 

Winter - Enduring the coldness of hardship, disappointments, toughing it and standing firm in spite of your pain?

You should not fear the coming of a new season.  If you understand the purpose of each season you will live in the moment.  Do you very best in each season so you won't live with regrets of the season that has passed because you have enjoyed and appreciated the moments.  

Remember, accept the changes that come with each season.  Think on the impact and purpose of the season that you are in, and look forward to the next season with joy.  Know that the seasons cycle, and that with each cycle you will grow and develop.  Learn through each experience, and always remember that there's life in every season!  Weather the seasons and Live Well!

God Bless you and Keep the Faith!
