Our
lives have seasons just like the natural world. There are seasons of
life when we are planting for the future and other times we are
harvesting. Times of work and times of rest. Times to restore our
energy and times to use it. Nothing is ever still. Things are always
increasing or decreasing. Growing or dying. Expanding or
contracting.
Sometimes
we have to ask ourselves what season of life am I in?
Am
I gathering information and preparing to become an adult? Is this
high school or college? Did I become a father. Is this the time to
grow and nurture my family. Did I just retire? Is this my time to
rest after a life of productivity?
Much
of what you do and how you set your priorities are dependent on which
season of life you are in. I am the father of two small children. Is
now the best time in my life to write a novel or even the short story
I thought would be so easy. Probably not.
It
is the time to instill in my children the character they will need to
live life as joyful healthy people. I'll write that novel later.
