CHAPLAIN'S CORNER EMBRACE EVERY SEASON During this change of season, we bear witness to the emergence of new life bursting forth with brilliant color overwhelming the dormancy of winter. Springtime is here and it gives us hope. A hope that no matter how long and cold and barren the winter might be, warmer and abundant times are coming. In the same way we experience seasonal changes in nature, we also find that season changes happen to us personally. It is important to know that life is full of seasons. The wisdom literature of Hebrew scripture points to this very notion as the writer of Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” Some of life’s seasons will be wonderful, easy, and full of celebrations. We might call these the mountaintop moments in life. These are the seasons we long for, we work hard for, and the ones we want to last. While other seasons will be difficult, painful, and full of loss. We often describe these times as walking in the valley. Moments like these can be very challenging and can seem as though they drag on too long. I want to encourage you that no matter what season you find yourself in, know that life is full of seasons and seasons always change. If you are walking in the valley, take heart, for things are looking up. There is hope! If you are on the mountaintop right now, don’t fear that a valley might be in your future. Enjoy the moment, for you didn’t get to this point without an uphill climb. Every season is important because it is full of purpose. As someone once said, “Everyone wants to be on the mountaintops of life, but it is in the valley where the real fruit grows.” Embrace every season, for each one has great value.
