Just this week, this collage of photos that I took about a year ago of the area that I live in, popped up. This helped me to remember that it is the "season of winter". In most areas(unless you live in Hawaii), winter means cold temperatures and snow.
Winter in Colorado is all about the colder temperatures and snow in the mountains for the skiers.
When I look at this collage, I see the winter photos and then I see the one photo, which is another season. It is the season of later summer and early autumn.
These photos make me think of life. One of my favorite authors, Charles Swindoll, wrote these words "our journey begins in the winter, a season of quite reverence. This is followed by spring, a season of refreshing and encouraging renewal. Then comes summer, a season of enjoyable and much-needed rest. Finally, we'll stroll through autumn, a season of nostalgic reflection."
Isn't that how life is? So as I begin a new year during the months of winter, I know that whatever I go through God has another season waiting for me. May I allow God to escort me through the seasons of life. Even if I go through a storm, He is wanting me to build deeper roots, so that I can have a stronger life.
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1

A pleasant day here before the stinking heat returns for the end of the week
