Changing Seasons
Fall is having a hard time arriving in my panhandle state. We have had freezing night temperatures this week, but our daytime temperatures continue to hover in the upper 60's and will reach the mid 70's during the weekend.
Our red maple tree was the prettiest color I have seen it since planting it a few years ago. Its brilliant color is already fading. Yet our native elm and other large trees are just beginning to dress themselves in their fall colors.
The berries on an ornamental tree are turning bright red, yet the hot pink geraniums beside it continue to bloom proudly.
A limbo of sorts seems to exist in my yard. Soon the changes of fall will fully arrive - it is inevitable for the seasons always change. God made it that way.
This year my yard seems to be a mirror of some things going on in my life. There are some changes that are coming - they are inevitable. Yet the timing of them seems to exist in a limbo that only God truly understands.
A new season in our spiritual journey will soon begin. God is bringing changes. Much like I wait expectantly the newness of the changing seasons in my world, I also wait expectantly this change.
Celebrating the beauty of the passing season and anticipating the beauty of the new season.
