Ending this Season

With the change from one time to the next,

I can see Him all the more clearly.

As Summer comes to an end...

His majesty in the sweaty days of summer, the heat of the Florida sun, cold water to cool the steaming skin. I am amazed how he planned it to move through time, everything having it's season.



And as Autumn approaches...

the heat begins to fade, cool breezes blow through the air, blankets feel cozier than ever and the dieing begins. The time for Summer fun draws to an end, the time for windows to be open and comfort foods served, rises again.

This Summer season has proved to be a rocky one, many mountains and valleys. But just as there are seasons for this earth, there are seasons for this life. High and low, beautiful and ugly...all for the growing. Consider it pure joy (every season), ... knowing that the testing of your faith develops perseverance!

God as this season comes to a close and the next takes it's place:

Grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Struggling? short & sweet

This life can be quite unpredictable!

One day is wonderful~quiet time first thing no doubt, house chores done like that, kids happy and just fine, school day completely sweet, dinner done even early, and just before bedtime treats.

The next~ it all seems to unravel...you didn't have/make time this morning...to tired's the excuse, laundry's fallen everywhere, sink is full, what where's the juice? forgot to plan for dinner, bills unpaid, and groceries needed, something spilled on the seat!!! Great I forgot the meeting!

I am reminded this early morning that this is not my struggle, the battle has been won! Besides my fleshly feelings Jesus is still Gods son. He came to bear my burdens and to Him today I ask, Please help me keep my earthly focus on things that surely last.
