The late great Jim Rohn frequently talked about the seasons of life.
People with problems, struggling and out of sorts would say they are in winter.
They need to realize this just a season and Spring will follow when the sun comes out and flowers can be planted and some flowers bloom due to hard work in earlier seasons.
Summer always follows when you care for your flowers planted and enjoy the sunshine God provides.
Then is the harvest , Fall, when due to your planning and hard work you get to enjoy the rewards.
It is a cycle that we need to remember. Good does not last forever but neither does doom with a little gloom.
Some will argue our Country is in Winter season when they look at the violent weather we have had and an upside down economy.
Winter it maybe but Spring is near.
Pete Seeger back in the 60’s made a teaching from the book of Eeclesiastes a hit song for the Byrd’s. Their hit Turn, Turn, Turn with these words got people in tough times thinking. Words that most though were the original thoughts of some rockers from LA.
Check out these lyrics and see how relevent they are today:
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
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late
As you see, it’s not too late.
Not too late to appreciate and LOVE life, leave the past behind, to smile, laugh and realize your dreams.
The Spring of your life is around corner or maybe Fall and the harvest is here !
