Choose to enjoy every season.

Aaahhh…yesterday was a beautiful spring day.  My family and I spent the day outside sprucing up our yard for the first time this season.

While I was mowing the yard, I realized just how much I enjoy every season of the year.   I think that I might actually get somewhat bored if we didn’t have season changes…hmmm, maybe.   

 

That got me to thinking about the different seasons of life.  There have been a few seasons in my life that I really did not enjoy going through at all.  But, once I got beyond them and looked back, I can truly say that I appreciate every season that I’ve gone through…hindsight is 20/20. 

The Lord has such an amazing way of taking all things that happen in our lives…good and bad…and working them out for our good. (See Romans 8:28)  I would not be the person I am today if I hadn’t gone through all I’ve been through…praise God!  I am grateful! What I have learned from the different seasons allows me to be in the midst of a challenging season right now and honestly say that I can count it all joy!  (See James 1:2-4)

So when you realize that you’re in the midst of a season that is challenging you, remember to trust God while going through.  Choose to believe that what you are going through is happening for a reason.  The Lord will work it all out for the good.  Choose to have joy.  Choose to enjoy every season.
