Seasons

If winter weren't so withdrawn,

then summer wouldn't sing.

If fall didn't shed its molting feathers,

then spring couldn't spread its wings.

We live in a world of perennial extreme,

trials followed by God and His grace,

the crucible mending through emerging mercy -

each season having its place.

"The Lord is faithful to all his promises
and loving toward all he has made"
Psalm 145:13
