Kids Happenings April 2018
Hello church family,
Well I would love to start this article with “Spring has sprung” but from what I can see that isn’t really the case. Life would be so much easier if we could truly know what the seasons will actually look like. I know many of you are in a season that you didn’t anticipate or one that may not look like the beautiful newness of spring but is still somewhat bearable. I find myself in these seasons of life more often than I would prefer. Unexpected house or car repairs, sickness, relationships that seem as though they are drifting away, emotions, responsibilities, and even loneliness. These are the seasons that we pray will never come and when they do we pray they will soon end. Similar to this cold snowy season that will not seem to go away.
Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes that “for everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven” I paraphrase “to be born, to die, to plant, to harvest, to cry, to laugh, to grieve, to dance, to love, to hate….” He also wrote “God has made everything beautiful for its own time.” You see God uses seasons to show us that He is good and can “make everything beautiful for its own time”. Seasons good and bad are ways for God to capture our hearts and our faith. He will change the season of life you are in when He‘s ready to change something about you. There will be more difficult seasons to come, but the Lord just wants us to trust Him through each and every season. No matter what kind of season you are going through, you can remember that God always promises to make it beautiful in His time.
If you are going through a difficult season in your life know that God is working to make it beautiful and you also have a church family that is there for you. Difficult seasons in life can be easier to bear when you have loved ones that help to share the burden.
Thank you for allowing me to love on your little ones.
God Bless
