Gratitude for the Seasons of Life

Gratitude for the Seasons of Life
November 8th, 2025, 6:46 am
Thank you God, for this morning
for the beauty of the fall colors,
for the mind that allows me to see the beauty of nature,
the changing of the seasons,
and the changing of human nature.
I see such purity when I sit and look at the beautiful view You’ve allowed me to have from my home.
And I realize not everyone has this opportunity.
For that I am grateful
When I think of my own journey,
of the seasons of my life,
I am grateful for each one
for every change, every situation,
every sunrise and sunset,
every storm and wind that has battered me.
I am grateful for rebirth and for death,
for the shedding,
for the changing,
for the purpose and the growth.
I am grateful for the seasons of life
the brightness and the dullness,
the warmth and the coolness.
As I look out the window and see green, orange, red
clouds and sun
I am in awe of it all.
And I am grateful to be part of that nature,
to remember that for fifty-five years
this skin and these bones have carried me through my life.
That every day, my heart has been beating
without any effort from me
simply living inside me for fifty-five years.
What a miracle that is.
And I am truly full of gratitude and grace.
