Seasons of life.

We go through many different seasons in our wonderful and beautiful lifetime.... 

When we are young it seams that we are in the spring time of our life, with new beginings Blooming all around us, and fresh things happening in our life, like a new life event or a new beginning...

Those are exciting times in our lives, living in daily expectancy of life happening all around you, and embracing all the new adventures that God places in our lives... watching those babies learn to walk and talk, and skip and ride a bike... so many new beginnings to experience and joy...

Spring time of our life goes on with lots of wonderful firsts, and eager times of discovery of our selves and what God wants for us in our future, we lean on him for guidance and for direction....

God's direction and blessings lead us into the summer time of our lives... all those years of Happiness and growth for you, your family, and friends.... every one loves the summer time, always a wonderful time of Happiness, joy, blooming where God has planted you.  Watching those you love grow, and embrace our Heavenly Father, and his continued blessings in our lives and in those around us.

These years, like summer, passes us by before we know it....  Just like the summer does each year, there never seems to be enough time to do all we want during the summer..... we are always left wanting just a little bit more time.... And looking back with warm memories of the times spent with the ones we love the most... And wishing for just one more sunset together on the beach.....

It's just like raising your children.... you always think there will be more time to spend laying in the sunshine with them, enjoying the love and closeness of shared memories, but they are entering into their spring time of their lives..... they are starting a different season in their lives, and our late summer is a new spring bloom to them, and the seasons start to separate us by time, distance, and circumstances.....

Summertime like we knew it turns into fall, things change drastically, yet it is still a beautiful time and season, rich with the blessings from God still evident all around us..... it really doesn't look like the beautiful spring time of our youth or even like all those years of summer time... but it is still new and beautiful if you take the time to stop and see the beauty of this season of our lives... Fall brings big changes, and lots of possibilities..... 

I'm somewhere between summertime and fall in my life right now.... still wanting to hold onto summer, but seeing the leaves starting to change and the wind is changing, and turning my life upside down down and topsy turvy....  I love the beauty of fall, but summer time is still calling me..... to come run in the wild flowers, to stop and see the lightning bugs, and curl up under a tree to read a good book.... to sip sweet tea, and soak up the warmth of summer and the joy of life...

I hear you God.... I know the seasons are changing.... but I'm not ready to leave the warmth and happiness of summer... give me a little more time please.... I still have so much and so many, I want to embrace.... And there is still so much I want to do and share..... soon, but not just yet....

If you need me, I'll be looking for wild flowers and lightning bugs.....

But stay near Lord.... I really need your presence right now...... 

I will always need you Lord, in springtime and summer, and fall... for life without you just isn't life worth living...

There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heaven.......

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
