Don't know which season I like best

Sometimes I just don't know...

which season I like best.

As a girl growing up in Western Washington I have learned to be prepared for any weather. For example the weather yesterday and today. Yesterday we had temperatures close to 100* and when I woke this morning it was 60* and raining. Now the temperature is back up to, at least, 75*.

Although, I am always looking forward to the next season. During Summer I am always looking forward to the Fall. The windy rainy stormy days, the brown leaves floating in the breeze, the pumpkin spice lattes. But, when fall finally roles around I can't wait for Winter.  Waking up to the surprise of a light dusting of snow, the festival of lights, New Years celebrations... The cycle goes on.

The only bad thing is that i never take the time to slow down and enjoy the season I am currently in. Rather than laying in the sun reading a book, I am inside thinking about trying to create my own Pumpkin spice. Rather than going out and jumping in a pile of leaves, I am doing online Christmas shopping. Not taking the time to stop and enjoy what is around me.

I think this is how it can be in our walks with Christ too.  We can't wait to see what God has next for us that we don't pay much attention to the things he has placed around us now. Like it says in Ecclesiastes 3 "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under the heaven.." So today let's take some time to slow down and enjoy the season of life God has placed us in.
