Seasons

     There's an old song that is sung by a now forgetten author to me, but it was a southern gospel type song that talked about the season's of life.  It was really an emotionl song when it came to the end about the grandfather dieing.  Charles Swindoll also authored a book - a devotional book - which takes you through the seasons of life.

      As I look back over my own life I can hardly believe that the seasons have changed so quickly.  We now have a married son, another one soon to be married, one heading off to college in the Fall and my wife and I will be "empty nesters".  The seaons are changing and time races on.

      The Spiritual Season's race on as well.  I remember well the day that I submitted my heart to Jesus, the day I was baptized as a sign of what Jesus had done in my heart, and the many events that God has allowed to take place in my life to mature me, break me, and remold me in the process of becoming more like Jesus.  I'm a long way off, still, but the seasons aren't finished changing yet.

     Some day that "season" of Christ's return will be here. He'll come with the shout of an angel and the blast of a trumpet and those of us who know Him will be in His presence to receive the rewards for our work done on earth.  I want to be ready for when that seaon comes - How about you?
