What is your favorite season?

What is your favorite season? What do you like best about it? Now let me ask you what season you look forward to the least? Why?

We all have our reasons for preferring one season over another, just as we may have our reasons for disliking aspects of one or more season. I have a favorite season much like most others, and there are some things that come along with some seasons that I don’t particularly enjoy. The one thing, though, that all four seasons share in common is that they were created by God. God doesn’t make mistakes, so each season has a purpose.

We may not know the purpose; we may not understand the purpose, we may not even care for the purpose, but if it was created by God you can be assured that it has a purpose.

Now, I happen to enjoy the winter season. I love snow, Christmas time, and warm fires, but when it comes to “winter seasons” in life, I fall right in line with the rest of the world and I don’t enjoy them very much.

Those dark, cold seasons when more things seem to be dying that coming to life. Winter seasons may be seasons of unemployment, illness, uncertainty, or simply waiting. Regardless of their shape or form, they can be painful and stressful. But there is good news and hope, God created them too and He has a purpose for them just as He has a purpose for you.[:]
