“To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven …” the writer of Ecclesiastes tells us in the First Testament.
This week brought news of changes in season for several people of my acquaintance. A young seemingly healthy man and his family were confronted with a serious health challenge which will extend into several seasons; another is pondering what next regarding career changes; a third is facing continued tension over several seasons regarding past financial challenges.
My wish for them and all of us who are navigating new seasons, is that we remember to be encouraged by the beautiful and familiar that is always with us. Light in the midst of winter’s darkness; hope that the melting ice brings water for the new growth in the spring; and most of all the love of creator,redeemer ,sustainer, and family and friends to hold us in their hearts as we courageously blaze new trails yet unknown .
