It's 11:43 pm I couldn't sleep so I decided to get up and write my thoughts. The word teaches us,"there is a time and a season for all things".
The seasons of life are very different just like the seasons throughout the year.
Spring is much like our youth. It's fun, full of life, new growth, and constant change. There should be a quote, "late to bed and late to rise". Youth is and should be all about growth!
Summer represents our twenties, thirties, & forties we are fully grown, we begin to produce, we understand more about life, every hour of every day is lived until total exhaustion kicks in. (up early and late to lay down). We want to do it all...houses, cars, vacations, money, etc.
Then we come into Fall, this season represents our fifties & sixties. I guess I could put myself in this category although "not by choice" we just end up here. Life takes on new changes--just like Fall in the yearly season, we need to look at this season as a time for harvest. You have (hopefully) accomplished enough to help you make it through the Winter. The things of life that you worked so hard for seem less important.
The Fall season needs to be a time to relax and enjoy a slower pace. To enjoy the things that you worked so hard to obtain, they are temporal. Enjoy the comfort of each new sunrise, the exquisite beauty of each sunset. Our mindset changes somewhat--we still feel young in our heart, yet our outlook on life changes. It's at this point....that sometimes we look back, we often say, " If I could go back I would change this or that" .....however, I say all those challenges, failures, or imperfections, and successes mold us into who we are individually. Life is good!
Winter....to be continued.
I started the year making a declaration this was going to be a good year, little did I know the future that 2020 had in store. We aren't even halfway through the year and things have been so different that I don't know how to even put into words the time and seasons.
There's been good, some challenges, loneliness, change, and yet when you sit and put all of those things out of your mind, the earth hasn't changed it's course.
Again as I said earlier, every morning the sun rises, every evening the sun sets. The moon continues to illuminate the night sky. The stars are innumerable, and the milky way is still visible on a clear night.
As I age, "and we all do" I have the choice to either grow, stay the same, or regress. I want to use this season of my life for growth. That growth may happen in many different ways. Spiritual growth is #1 on my list, I desire to know more... than I know now.
We are living history! This season will absolutely be written down in history. Unprecedented and 2020 will be linked together forever.
Life is like a vapor. Make a difference! Leave your mark!
Love to the fullest!
To every thing 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;
