Spring, summer, fall or winter. If each season on the calendar represented a season in our lives, which season would you be in now? I proudly call myself summer. I am old enough to know who I am through Christ and young enough to still want to take on the world. I have experienced marriage, children and life, but still have marriage, children and life to come. I am learning to talk, walk and quietly rest in a garden. My days of being asked to be in weddings are, for the most part, over. Do I miss spring? Often when I see spring and all that awaits them, I long to dance around again with spring on a beautiful day. However, I know summer is where I am and enjoy jumping in the pool to cool off.
Which season are you? Which season do you long for? I am thankful for the seasons in my life.
this is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think of myself as spring, not because of my age (I would be autumn in that case) but because of my outlook. Perhaps is because I was born in spring and forever will feel like a spring girl
Oh Elise, well said. We should all strive to keep your outlook!
ReplyDeleteI am summer. I think that for me Spring was sort of unimpressive--too many rainy days. But it is promising to be a glorious summer. The fog and mist have burned off with the Son, revealing a beautiful June.
ReplyDeleteMelisa, you are beautiful and an inspiration to me and so many women. Today, before reading this I was thanking and praising God for you. What could I ever give to you that would even come close to comparing to all that you have done in my life. To God be the glory.
