Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time
to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
Just as there are four seasons in some countries, there are also seasons of our lives which we experience at different times, for different reasons.
Spring
This is the time when we are young and needful of teaching. Our parents teach us in ways that build our character and we slowly begin to understand ourselves. Slowly but surely, we develop our moral ethics and codes.And as we go to school, educators teach us until the more we study, the more we learn in which ability we are stronger.
SummerAfter we graduate and get a job, we get married and raise a family.
Autumn
"A time to pluck up" - Harvest times comes in the Autumn of life. We draw on the resources we have 'planted', just as we harvest the vegetables from our garden to be put up for "another day". In the 'autumn' of our journey down the path of life, and the way we have lived, learned, shared, and have been taught will have a bearing on where we spend eternity after the 'winter' of our lives - and on the rewards which each of us hope we have laid up for eternity.
Winter
Hold on to that which we have learned, give of it freely to others. We have become more aware of our destiny - a time that each of us has to face.
I am in the winter season of my life now and am still learning many lessons about life, myself, people and am thankful for all I have gone through. I am sure you feel the same way...
If you have the time, please watch this beautiful slide presentation THE SEASONS OF LIFE that Freddie sent to me today. Exquisitely beautiful and touched me deeply. May it touch you too.
Take care and may the Almighty bless you and yours always.
Bunny i'm in the winter of my life.
i just hate the idea of dying ....... can't imagine spending eternity sitting on a cloud playing the harp.
