...seasons in the sun

strange thought for December,
but let's go with it a bit..

for everything, there is a season...
the Bible tells us that...

and as we sojourn here,
on our way to eternity...
we need things...

not enough food, short sojourn...
inadequate shelter or clothing...
uncomfortable and short sojourn...

sometimes, we become so wrapped up
in our favorite subject... us ....
that we fail to notice the gifts around us...
given to us by a loving Father, who seeks to drop
these little "love bombs" along our way...

the glorious colors of the autumn leaves,
now mostly gone...
the twinkle and sparkle of seasonal lights...
which will soon be gone...

and then, fog, gloom, cold & damp...
seasonal weather with it's storms...
short dark days, long darker nights...

so where is the sun ?
my spell check can't figure this one out,
but it is really not "sun", it's "Son", that I meant...

then "seasons in the Son"
takes on an entirely different meaning...
for He is always here, especially
where 2 or 3 are gathered in His name...

and there, the warmth of the light,
will stave off the darkness...
and the torch, of 3 small lights,
becomes the light of the Son,
and His smile warms the season...
