Spring is in the Air!

I could have sworn that a couple of weeks ago we had snow here in Hawera!  This morning my eldest daughter Hannah came into my room and declared, "Daddy it's spring today - it's the 1st of September, that means it's spring". She was so right because as I look out my window now the sun is streaming in and there is a definite "springy-ness" in the air. I guess that means that pretty soon I'll have to think about mowing the lawns again (sigh).

Isn't it amazing how seasons change, and how quickly it happens. I have no doubt you've heard every cliche under the sun about life and seasons, but it's actually quite important that we remember these things.  Sometimes in life we feel that nothing is going right, everything is upside down or on top of us. Other times we feel "on top of the world" and able to conquer any challenge. Often we're somewhere in between.

Whatever season we may be in; whatever challenges we may face, we must learn to worship God through it all. Yes it can be difficult, and we may not always "feel" particularly effective, but we are sons and daughters of the Almighty God. With our identity found in HIm we start to find Him in the strangest places - and that's where we should bow our heads and worship God.
