THE SEASONS OF LIFE

For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (RSV)

Solomon gives us pause to reflect on our own journey through life by developing a more personal relationship with our Creator. A good way to do this is to restructure our path through the year.

September should be the start of our year, refocusing our energy in work, school, and church, revitalizing our core human existence of vocation, education, and spiritualization.

This focus of our fall quest prepares us for the greatest gift by our Creator, His Son, born in a cold cave, but with a bright star, lighting His triumphal entry into human history.

Winter is a season of praise and thanksgiving for this miraculous event while preparing us for God’s next great intervention—the Easter Event.

Here God allows His great Christmas gift of life and hope to dim and die a painful human death. In three days God shows us the way out of our sorrow by bringing His Light back to life for all to see and rejoice in the resurrection of new life in His Son, Jesus the Christ.

The summer season is a time to rest and reflect upon these incredible miracles of God breaking into our earthly existence, and showing us the best way to live, and the true way to go home—with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

When we come back to the fall season, it’s time to shout out “Happy New Year” and Prepare ye the way of the Lord. 
Mark 3:1 (RSV)

Heavenly Father, lead us through our seasons of life with Your guiding light and love.
