The concept of seasons has been on my mind recently and how God speaks to us through the created seasons to spiritual seasons and truths in our lives.
I have swept up the floor in my kitchen three days in a row this week. They were really cleaned and washed Thursday and had leaf bits and pine needles due to fall all over the following three days. It's kind of annoying in this season.
But just last season I was so so grateful for the very same trees now dirtying my floor that gave me cooler temperatures and shade in the heat of summer. The leaves brought beautiful shade. They're also really pretty with the fall color.
I know when summer comes around again I would much rather have them there than not deal with a few weeks of extra cleanup.
I was thinking spiritually how that is so true- something we love and enjoyed in one season becomes an annoyance in the now. I think it's just part of the cycle, it will come around again and be back as something we are grateful for, can celebrate and learn from if creation teaches me anything.
It's a reminder not to make huge decisions regarding a temporary annoyance and Rob ourselves of future blessings from that same thing.
