These are also the seasons when you know God is present!
Fall brings change....change of colors to pretty shades of browns, reds, and orange, change in the weather, a change of clothes, and the coming of the birth of Jesus with the celebration of Christmas!
Then Spring comes and is a reminder everything is made new! The beautiful flowers are blooming, grass is turning green, the warm spring sunshine on my face, and of course Easter celebration when Christ was risen from the dead. It is a reminder he has died for us and what is more powerful than that!
I love taking long runs during those times of the year. It is where I can find my peace and serenity. When you stop to take all of that in and pause for a moment, you know God has made these changes. He is also there during the changes in "my" seasons. I am reminded he is guiding me and helping me along. I just need to stop and pause and take him in.
I read this sentence below in my daily devotional and it reminded me of all these beautiful changes we are witness to just outside our door! I hope you can get out and enjoy the beautiful day God has placed in front of you today!
"God intended that we become witnesses of his beauty, design, color and pleasure so that we could gain a more intimate, real, and personal knowledge of him"
