The Sesaon is changing!!

As I drove to work this morning I noticed the leaves are starting to change already! It may still be humid out and feel like summer, but if you look closely you see the season about to change. The sun is setting earlier, the nights a little bit cooler. I have heard a lot this past week how people are mourning the end of summer as we approach school beginning next week. ( I am one of them) There is a bit of sadness to the end of a good season like summer.  At the same time we can look forward to the beauty of the next season. Fall brings beautiful colors, cool sleeping nights, sweaters and jeans again! Also brings celebration such as Thanksgiving and of course leads into winter that brings the Christmas Season!
Life is the same and I find our season changing. Our girl is heading to university. This brings a new season with only one teenager at home. I find that I am very excited for her but also there is a sadness that a certain season where we were all at home is changing. But, like nature, it is natural and part of life that is healthy. I look forward to hearing her new stories and new experiences. So grateful she is going to a Christian university with people we know and love.
Our boy is entering grade 11. Time to start thinking about what he wants to be. Noticing the physical changes as he starts to become a young man. Praying for guidance and wisdom for us and him in the  next couple of years as he figures out who and what he wants to be.
For Paul and I it is a season of having more time for each other. At one time in life I was afraid of this season. Worried that without the kids as centre who would we be as a couple. We never really had anytime just the two of us as we started our family right away. As always, the worry was for nothing. We are enjoying this time. We love our motorcycle! Have really enjoyed our little trips around our beautiful county and area this summer. We are enjoying our new church family at Emmanuel and being involved in the marriage ministry.
So seasons change. I will try not to worry what is next but enjoy this time for now. So grateful to God for my family. Grateful that whatever season we are in, He is there holding us up as He has promised.( Isaiah 41:10) Praying that whatever season you are in that you will be reminded that God is there in it with you.
