"As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.
The last days of summer are upon us. School has started, and the
weather swings between hot and rainy. In the Bible, God often speaks about the
changing of seasons, a reminder that change is inevitable, though it can be
challenging for many of us. We each have a favorite season, cherished for
different reasons.
I used to love summer because it meant my kids were out of school,
giving us endless days at the pool, long trips to Broken Bow, and late nights
together. But now, summer is my busiest time of year for work, and I don’t get
to enjoy those moments with my little ones as they are young adults now. Just
as the seasons change, our feelings toward them can change too, and that’s
okay.
I have a friend who dreads winter because it triggers her
depression, while another friend struggles with the holidays because she is
alone. The seasons of life shift, and with them, our experiences and emotions,
but God is present in every season, guiding us through each change.
