<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFall has arrived. This is not earth shattering news but very welcome news if you have been living in 95 degree plus heat. For those of us who have we are welcoming cooler temperatures. Autumn can be several weeks of happy weather but by the time it ends we know what follows \u2013 winter. We aren\u2019t always that excited about winter, but it\u2019s okay, it\u2019s another season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mainly, let\u2019s be happy to experience a new season. New seasons bring new days and new opportunities. Life is different in every season of life. Life is filled with seasons. We have weather seasons gut we have life seasons. If we are fortunate we have many seasons. How many Fall seasons have you lived to enjoy? Twenty? Fifty? Maybe even 90 or more. They go by quickly. The long hot days have been a grind but looking back they passed by quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life goes by quickly. Soon we will be celebrating Christmas, we hope. We should enjoy each of these rapidly passing seasons. Childhood, young adult life, middle age years and our senior years. We hope to experience them all and stretch out as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy your season of health. Health and our daily peace with God are our most valued resources. Regardless of how much money you have you won\u2019t enjoy it much without you\u2019re your health, We value and treasure our health. Taking care of ourselves must be a top priority. Casting all restraints to the side is not a good idea. Pouring a little sand occasionally in your car\u2019s fuel tank is never a good idea and neither is occasional garbage in our bodies. We all do it some. Some do it every day and get by with it a long time but none of us can forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seasons of life can change at any given moment. Sometimes life changed with a phone call or just a text message. The news can be good or bad and our entire direction of life is changed regardless if we are ready,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ecclesiastes chapter three talks about seasons. This biblical passage tells us there are many of them. \u201cTo 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 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, 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 let go; a time to keep and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away.\u201d Read the rest of this good chapter sometime today or this week. For reflection and mediation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every season has it ups and downs. Take hold of this new season with all that we will learn, experience and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
