Today, I'm happy to be a part of the book blog tour for A Symphony of Seasons, written by my e-friend, Connie Arnold.
Seasons of Life
Some days we feel depressed and blue,
Not knowing what we are going to do,
Struggling just to get through the day,
Wondering why life must be this way.
Do
you ever feel this way? I imagine most of us have felt at one time or another
that life is a struggle, and we don’t know what we should do. Yet often things
will turn around, and we will have days when things seem to go right and we
enjoy life again.
These
ups and downs of life are a bit like the seasons. Throughout our lives we will
encounter change time after time and need to learn to find the joy and beauty
of life again in our new circumstances.
For the ups and downs we face there are reasons,
Like nature, our lives also have seasons.
In
autumn the leaves fall, leaving the trees looking lifeless and bare. Have you
experienced that sluggish, exposed feeling in your life? Or as winter turns
cold and icy, have you ever felt like you have a cold, frozen heart?
But,
oh, the joy when spring returns with new life and beauty abounding! It is
certainly a season of hope and renewal, and God brings this season into our
lives as well, filling us with hope, renewed vigor and joy.
As
summer brings warmth, sunshine and usually increased opportunities for
relaxation and fun, the Son’s light shines into our lives bringing warmth to
our cold hearts and joy to our lifeless existence.
In good
times and bad, it’s increasingly clear
Every
life has its seasons through each passing year.
May God bless you through each
season of the year and all seasons of your life!

Yes I have felt that way but thankfully Spring is coming

Yes, Kim, I'm always thankful for spring too. It seems like a special season of hope and renewal. Hope you have a beautiful spring!
I love Spring! I saw your pretty book at Let It Grow Produce, Connie. :) Congratulations
