Today is a Day the Lord Has Made

Living in Upstate New York, I have the blessing of seeing the change in seasons. Some may argue when winter comes ( about the blessing part!).... I am definitely a "spring/fall" person. Nonetheless, we prepare and tolerate and soon enough a new season is upon us.

Life is also compared to seasons.....I guess I would be considered to be in the autumn of my life. Thank goodness I like fall!
Looking back in my faith life I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. The ignorance of youth has passed and the knowledge that comes with age is truly a gift. They say " If I only knew then what I know now". Not me. I can look back and say I have had a timely journey. I have suffered, I have grieved, I have loved. I have been hurt, I have hurt, I have learned how to be a good parent, a good friend, a good daughter and a good sister. I have learned how to be a good Christian.
Learning takes time and I am not done yet. Every day is a learning experience. I have and will make mistakes But with my faith growing ever stronger, with time, I know I can forgive and be forgiven.
The peace that has come over me through the grace of God fills me with optimism. The strength of prayer is amazing!
So, as I prepare for winter (the season) and winter (my life path), I also prepare for the coming of my Savior. And, I know that after the winter has passed my life will start anew. See glory in this day... this season ...this life. Knowing that when your seasons have passed you will REALLY be alive in the presence of GOD !
