Honoring the Seasons

"For everything there is a season  . . ."  Ecclesiastics 3:1

There is a season for everything under the sun -- "a time to live and a time to die".  This is vividly expressed in the changing seasons.  In the region where I live we are entering much cooler weather.  There have already been 3 frosts, and I have picked the last of the produce and dug up the garden.  

There is a season in life passages too.  A time to live and a time to die.  Those of us who are caregivers are witnessing in our loved one the "time to die".  Let us face this as a natural phase in life, with honor and graciousness.
