NEW SEASON NEW LIFE

Ecclesiastes 3:1 AMP There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven—

We were out for a walk at Codnor Reservoir a few days ago  and we saw a swan who had just stood up from her nest, and nestling in there were six great big eggs! It was amazing to catch sight of them as I’d never actually seen a swan’s egg in its nest before! I felt it was a special gift from God to be at exactly the right spot at exactly the right moment.😊 Later on we saw a little wren and her mate playing in amongst the new leaves on the trees and it made me so aware of the wonder of spring bursting out all over. I don’t know about you but it lifted my spirits after wintertime.😊

Can I encourage each one of us, if you’ve been going through a winter season in your life, to know that God has a new season opening up which will bear new fruit, new life. Those big eggs speak of new life and will soon be hatching into beautiful little cygnets and we’re reminded of all the stages of life we each go through.

God wants us to know He is in each stage with us, helping us through, lifting us up, flowing everything into us that we need if we stay connected to Him, to Jesus, the One who is the Way, The Truth and The Life, to the One who is our Healer. 

He is the eternal life giver, the One who enables us to go beyond the grave into the Life He has planned and ordained before the foundation of the world to be with Him forever. In fact, it reminds me of Easter and the New Resurrected Life that Jesus offers to us all.

But for now, as we continue into Easter week, let’s enjoy the  season we’re in, the life we have, the strength we have, the health we have to go for a walk, or to look out our window and see the birds in the garden. To be so very grateful for all His blessings, His peace, His joy, His patience with us, and His great love reaching out to each and every one of us every day, because of Jesus. 

Thank You Lord for all You give us to enjoy, for new life and all our other blessings.😊In Jesus’ name. Amen.
