Hello Friends!
It’s a new season… fall! There are four seasons in every year. Four seasons of change. Of course, the amount of change in one season is relative to where you live. Here in southern California, there’s not much change. In fact, today was the hottest day of the year on record in Los Angeles at 113. It was blazing hot! However, the beach breeze started up again and it’s cooling down. Doesn’t seem like fall today.
Our summer was cooler than usual. A haunting marine layer crept along the coast daily. I ended up wearing my ugg boots and a sweatshirt at night because the nights were on the chilly side. Go figure.
Life is filled with seasons of change. It can be difficult to adapt, especially when it’s not necessarily change for the good… or so it seems. I’ve gone through a lot of change in the past 4 years. Some good and some not so good. I’m getting through it. I am actually thankful for much of the change, even though it was an extremely hard season for me.
Whatever change you are experiencing, just keep a song in your heart. Put on some classic Barbra Streisand and watch some silly comedies. Laugh. Keep loving. Keep embracing your path. It will be change for the better. You can make it happen.
I love this excerpt from the Bible: “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to build up and a time to tear down, a time to work and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance… God has made everything beautiful in His time.” Eccl. 3
Whatever time it is for you, use it to love where you are and to make a difference in those whom God has put in your life. Make it a season to remember.
Happy Fall!
