It is no secret that I love growing flowers, plants and trees. A glance of our shrub beds, deck, house and yard quickly reveals that I obviously enjoy "dirt therapy." While watering today, I noticed that some flowers are in full bloom while others are not. When blooming ones eventually cease, others begin. I began thinking.
This journey finds many of us in different life seasons. Some may be in seasons of anticipation while others are in seasons of celebration. Some may be in seasons of growth while others are in seasons of loss. Some may be in seasons of searching while others are in seasons of renewal.
Perhaps we compare our lives with others much too often. We may even find ourselves feeling better or worse about our own journey because it is so different than the journey of others. Yet, like the different seasons of blooming I see around my home, there is beauty in each season. Some are easier than others. Some are much more enjoyable than others. Some are very difficult and challenging. But there is always purpose in each moment we are given. May we never lose focus of the One Who loves us, holds us, values us and guides us through each season. I am amazed. I am grateful. I am never alone.<3~thl
