It's finally happened. Anyone who lives even the slightest bit north knows what it is and the scraping sound it makes on the car windshield...frost. Winter has come and with that frost as well
The changing of another season has come to pass. I can't help but be reminded of Gods amazing creation, how amazing this universe is that He created! I get this mental image of our world moving through this galaxy at its amazing speed moving further from our sun...causing our breath to become visible as we walk outside and bringing the frost to cover everything that we see. This changing of the seasons brings to my mind the different seasons in life. I find that no matter how much I remind myself that winter is coming I still am in shock when the frost comes. It seems that I have told myself over and over that I will experience different seasons in life. Seasons of joy, sorrow, new beginnings, and stillness, yet I still find myself in shock when these seasons come and go! I'm so thankful that just as the changing of the weather is in Gods hands so is the changing of the seasons in my life. "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven..." Ecclesiasties 3:1 This chapter in Ecclesiasties continues to go on about how there is a season in life for everything...to sow and reap, for joy & sorrow, life & death ect... I find this passage of scripture beautiful and can see a glimpse of Gods amazing design through it! I thank Him that He is the perfect designer and that when I find myself in shock from a new season in my life, I know He has planned it that way for a reason. All I need to do it trust him and enjoy the beauty of it around me!
