Seasonal Transition
“To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven.
A time to be born, a time to die,
A time to plant, a time to reap,
A time to kill, a time to heal,
A time to laugh, a time to weep….”

You probably just sang this tune of the Beatles while reading those famous lyrics or maybe you thought of the words from the book of Ecclesiastes… either way, these words are profound when it comes to seasonal transition.
At the end of summer, most of us welcome the cooler breeze of autumn, the changing color of the leaves, the smell of cinnamon and baked apples, the extra hour we gain in our days. Everyone has their favorite part of the new season. Each new season welcomes new chapters that contain events like relocations, new babies, new jobs, new friends, weddings, funerals, personal victories… you name it. But while in the midst of each season, we may anticipate its ending rather than embracing it, learning from it, or being developed in it. There is a reason for every season, even if our hearts and minds don’t understand it. We may not want a happy season to end and are scared of what the new season holds. Turning the page to a new chapter in life can be scary or exciting, but it also could be a time to heal, a time to weep, a time to build up, a time to break down, it could be your time to dance, or maybe your time to mourn, a time to cast away stones, or a time to gather them together.
Whatever you may be facing in your own personal life or business, keep in mind that you are not alone. There are other people who have worn your shoes, or are facing the same things you may be facing. If you are in a happy season, help those that may not have this fortune. Look for opportunities to build them up, encourage them, listen to them, and pray for them.
You don’t know what a simple card that says “I’m thinking of you today” can do for someone’s spirits and what it can do for yours! Think outside of your box and help build up someone else today.
