From Ecclesiastes 3:1: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.

Life’s journey moves into another season
Advancing time, with its definite reasons
Memories of seasons, they forever last
Recalling God’s creation, from seasons past
Life renews each and every spring
Arriving now, robins begin to sing
Harsh, dark winter—absent for good
Sending nourishing rains, because God could
Spring’s greenery gives way to summer
Seeing color-filled blossoms, never a bummer
Gardens filling with color and shapes
Maturing crops, waiting for harvest’s date
With summer’s waning days, autumn arrives
Changing colors, bring another fall alive
Maples, oaks, and others astound us
Feeling cooler temperatures, without any fuss
Autumn exits too soon, winter approaches
Bundling up, frigid cold boldly encroaches
Snow deepens from another Arctic blast
Asking, how long will winter last?
God guides lives through each season
Bringing hope, never question His reason
Eventually, another season arrives once again
Witnessing God’s creation, He decides when
Each season fuels life’s humble needs
Living with God, offering glorious deeds

Yes, winter’s peace and a slower pace to life can be a welcome respite. I still enjoy winter from my many years of living in Montana.

Beautiful poem as you travel through the seasons…I love the ending as God provides for us no matter the season of our lives. I also like the lines above the ending: “God guides us through each season. Bringing hope, never question His reason”. We do not always understand why things happen the way they do, but God is in control at every turn. We must have faith and trust…As it is written in scripture, “His ways are above our ways, and His thoughts are above our thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8
