Seasons

The author of Ecclesiastes writes that there is a season for every

purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). He then goes on to list

many contrasting seasons of life. What season do you find yourself in

this week? Are you firmly in Thanksgiving or are you already in a

Christmas mindset? Have you got football season on the brain or family

gathering season on your heart? Does it feel that you are drifting along,

not ready for seasons which may be ahead or are you not looking

forward to holidays because you are in a season of grief or melancholy?

We may find ourselves in multiple seasons this Thanksgiving.

While every season may not be ordained by God, every season is filled

with God’s presence. God is with us in all circumstances, and he invites

us to draw closer to Him in all circumstances. He invites us to practice

the spiritual discipline of gratitude in all seasons. This week focus on

God’s presence in this period in your life, and you will find that our Lord

journeys with us.

In gratitude,

Rev. Sherri
