Have you ever felt too old to be used by God? Well Deborah and Rita are here to tell you God doesn’t think so! They have developed a blog, “Bloom in Your Winter Season,” just for you. It focuses on women who are in their winter season and how they have continued their ministry in many different aspects. Please check it out and draw encouragement from other seasoned women.
SEASONS
As she walks along the trail, she is engulfed with brilliantly colored leaves. Yellow, red, gold. Fall has arrived, Winer is yet to come.
She stops to rest and sits up a tree that has lost it’s youth. Thoughts swirl through her mind, like the leaves falling around her.
She remembers the springtime of her youth, the grass was green, there were buds on the trees. Everything was new and full of wonderment, just waiting to be discovered.
The sun dances on the fallen leaves, as do thoughts of summer in her memories. The days were carefree and meant to be enjoyed. Yes, she whispers, summer was good.
The seasons have come and gone so quick. Fall is already here, and winter is around the bend. But winter can be a beautiful season. She awaits her winter with anticipation.
