The Season You’re In

People often struggle to appreciate the season they’re in.

In the heat of summer, they dream of snow. In the cold gray of January, they dream of barbecues and swimming pools. And although many favor the moderate seasons of spring and fall, too often those times are also marked with an impatience for what’s next.

In the same way that spring can be linked with renewal, summer with vitality, fall with letting go, and winter with death, so too do the seasons you’re living through have similar themes. And it’s important that you don’t miss what they have to teach you.

What time is it for you? Is it a time to start over, a time to embrace life’s fullness? Is it a time to regroup and let go, or a time for closure and moving on?

Here’s something to remember about seasons: they have a purpose. And they’re temporary.

Don’t miss the season you’re in.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. —Ecclesiastes 3:1
