We did it. It was time. Our bed is now ready for cooler weather with warmer sheets, an electric blanket and a heavy comforter. As I began washing, folding and storing the lighter linens, I couldn't help but feel a bit sad that it's time for cold weather...again. Yet as I climbed into bed last night and felt the warmth of the blanket, I felt much gratitude. What a joy it is to know that as cold winds blow, as temperatures fall and as more challenging seasons arrive, I can anticipate a warm and comfortable bed at the end of the day.
I began thinking. Seasons of life change, too. Some seasons are easier and enjoyable. Some seasons are peaceful and beautiful. Some seasons are not quite as comfortable as others. Some seasons are brutal. Yet what an incredible joy it is to know that Someone is with me through each season. He brightens life with new beginnings. He sings through the songs of birds and dancing of raindrops. He transforms seasons with vibrant colors and blankets of frost. He miraculously covers and calms surroundings with fresh, white snow.
At the end of the day, I know that whatever season my life faces, He is with me. His love warms my heart. His peace soothes my soul. His hope brightens my journey. His compassion eases my burdens. His Presence assures me of His faithfulness. Knowing His arms await me, hold me, heal me and help me makes this journey so beautiful and purposeful. Whatever season I face, He embraces me. I am amazed. I am grateful. I am never alone.<3~thl
