I was there when the leaves on the trees were no longer there, having fallen to the ground, hidden for winter. I swang, marveling at the work that God was doing in my life; the surprises he was bringing. I was healing, waiting, expectant.
I was there when the leaves began to grow back with little green buds, welcoming spring. I swang, looking out over them, thinking of all the LIFE that has taken place in the last seasons. I was healed, one wait turned into another, and my reasons to be expectant increased.
I am here when the leaves are full, and different shades of green line the horizon, ready to shield us from hot summer days. I swing, looking out and reflecting back, over the the past year. The healing that has taken place is complete. The answers that came as I waited are blessings. The expectancy that is always there, is good, for it's from a good God, with good things in store.
I was there. Now I'm here. Soon I'll be somewhere else. As the seasons continue to change, I'm going to watch. I going to swing, enjoying the moments and noticing the different aspects of each one.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens... Ecclesiastes 3:1
