*07 Seasons Of Blessing Poem by John Knight

The Seasons are one of God's many blessings to those of us fortunate enough to live on Planet Earth. God promised that Seedtime & Summer & Harvest and Winter would never cease. I have lived in the UK for nearly 80 years and God has kept His promise every year. However we do sometimes get all four seasons in one day! ! !

SPRING is a season of renewal
and is most people's favourite
Spring flowers - spring lambs and the.....
awesome greenness of the spring buds.
After the confinement of Winter everything.....
springs back into life - love is in the air.
Even dormant poets come alive.

SUMMER is a season of pleasure.
Since the end of the nineteenth century
it has been a time of travel and leisure
long sunny days - sweet balmy nights.
It is the fulfilment of Spring and the ripening
of the Autumn Harvest. Is this season the best?
They are all the best when considered in season!

AUTUMN is a season of happiness
and visual beauty. Every tree
an incredible work of nature's art.
Each day heralded by an awesome sunrise
and closed by a breathtaking sunset.
God wants us to take time out - to
appreciate His bounty and His beauty.

WINTER is a season of reflection
with time to ponder on all the blessings
and ups and downs of the passing year.
God paints much of the world white
to calm our hearts and make us reflective.
God lowers the temperature to encourage
togetherness and fellowship and love.
