“There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven”. Ecclesiastes 3:1
“The Lord’s loving kindness indeed never ceases, for His compassion’s never fail.”
We experience seasons in our lives just as there are seasons throughout the year. Some of our seasons are broad strokes through our lives, such as retirement. Some seasons are short timeframes, such as my timeframe of returning to school. Some seasons pass quickly and some linger.
Some seasons you can prepare for. Just as you would prepare for harvest, and prepare for planting. But some seasons hit unexpectedly and you seem unprepared for them.
Through all the different seasons in our lives, joyous as well as sad, one thing remains. And one thing is constant. That is God’s love. Seasons change, God’s love remains.
As I navigate the waters of this season adjusting to the fact that my dad is no longer on earth, that I can no longer call him to share good news, or ask his advice, I can rely on God’s unfailing love. Oh what a peace that brings to my soul.
Dad was always there for us growing up. He gave us the courage to make those leaps.
