Our yard is bordered by woods. Several homes are on the other side of those woods. The change of seasons has always been a blessing to my husband and I as we watch the changes which take place over the course of the year.
Winter brings amazement as the bare trees whistle with the blustering wind, and sparkle from the snow laden on the branches. We take delight in the spring when the budding begins to unfold. The varied shades of green spread out, hint at new growth and fullness about to occur. The summer reveals either a thickness or sparseness all dependent on the harshness of the winter.
And autumn … We have kept watch as the leaves have changed their color and the shedding has begun. We now have glimpses of the houses on the other side of the woods which will soon be totally visible. For months, they have been totally hidden from our view.
Little by little more of the outline of the houses can be seen. Soon we will see the entire houses.
“Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.” (1 Corinthians 13:!2, NLT)
Let’s talk perspective, focus, and trusting God. I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE.

I love the changing seasons and their symbolism for life.
Seasons of the year like seasons of life DO alter our perception of the world. I want to be so careful not to jump to conclusions based on a first glance!
