Seasons...when we hear that word, we think of holiday seasons, seasons of the year, seasons for sports such as football and basketball. As my life continues, I realize that life contains seasons, too.
We experience infancy, toddler, childhood and teenager seasons. Other seasons include high school, college, dating, marriage, family and retirement. Yet there are also seasons of challenge, growth, achievement, celebrations, loss, uncertainty and waiting.
Reflecting as this year comes to a close, I am aware of multiple seasons in my own life. Some have been incredibly blessed. Some have been heartbreaking. Some have been uncertain. Some have been amazing. I hope that I handled each season as I should have. I pray that I honored Him above all. I continually wonder if I did what was best and, when I didn't, what life lessons I learned.
Then I read this beautiful Scripture passage which reminded me that Jesus gave very clear guidance on what is of greatest importance during each season. May I hold Him dear and honor Him more as the remainder of my journey unfolds.♥~thl
"'The most important one,' answered Jesus, 'is this: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.'" Mark 12: 29>31
