SEASONS
The leaves are slowly turning colors & falling to the ground. Football is back & in full strength. All of the Starbucks connoisseurs are rejoicing over Pumpkin Spice Lattes being available again.
And before you know it, the holidays will be coming around soon. Most people around the U.S. are experiencing the amazing, wonderful & normal Fall weather.
Except for us in the South…
It feels like it’s been hot outside, like surface of the sun hot, since March with no end in sight.
And even though it’s October, it feels like the Summer heat won’t get the hint & leave.
Like a musical note that won’t resolve.
A long season that won’t end.
Life can feel like that at times. We all go through tough moments that feel like they’re dragging on & on.
Working & waiting for a dream to come true, only to have it be indefinitely delayed, can seem like life is being cruel to you.
When will this end?
When will this begin?
How long until I get to experience _______?
These are some of the questions that we ask.
In those moments, the hope that we have is in where our focus is at. Meaning, looking forward to better days allows us to endure the present.
All seasons have to change.
The tough circumstances will get better in enough time.
It may be tomorrow, it may be weeks from now. But keep your eyes on the horizon.
The new season is coming up ahead.
