on the four seasons

i'm a kid.

i was sitting recently, looking at the snow outside, in wonder of how just a couple of months ago, it was the warm and sunny fall, filled with blue skies, clouds of white and the green grass. good times. and in a couple of months, its going to be back again. seasons are relentless, faithfully coming and going, disregarding all that it brings along. sunshine, won't you be my mother? ive concluded that the seasons, in order of my preference, are Fall, Winter, Summer and Spring.

fall, you beautiful one. the red, yellow and orange leaves go perfect with the crisp blue of the sky and the green grass of life. you are not quite hot but not quite cold.

winter. the cold one. everyone seems to talk about how much misery you bring. but you are the one that reminds me of a different season for everything (ecclesiastes 3). you bring snow, which is beautiful and new things to do, like snowboarding !

summer. woah, are you one hot mama! i'd like you if you weren't so hot and dry. why do people like you so much? you bring sunburns, dry skin, thirst (psalm 42) and deserts (psalm 107:4-6a). but i guess you do bring about times where we can enjoy the outdoors, the beaches and swimming.

sorry Spring. you are wet and mushy and you bring to my mind, images of rain, moist and wet muddy grass. but you are the season of life, the season that brings restoration and beginning of new things. and despite being kind of yuck, you remind me that Jesus was just like you. he was despised and was nothing that the world would love (Isaiah 53:2-3) but he brought life to what was dead, a promise that is continually faithful and constant (psalm 107:33-35).

all this to say, all seasons are good and wonderfully made haha what's your favourite season and/or seasonal activity?
