There's more to a season!

Again, this season was excellent as seen in these photos. As I review my fall photos I am reminded of what Scripture says in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven." I hope that you can read through these seasons and remind yourself that even if you are going through a horrible time at the moment, it is only a season. I have an excellent thought and/or question: Is there anyone you can bless today by helping them with your time or making them something as a craft? Is it always about number one? We need to start thinking about others first. One of my good friends once said that Joy is Jesus Others Yourself; this must be our order of response. Help yourself by helping others. It isn't about number one; Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:38). This means that we love ourselves too much and our neighbors not enough.
Just prior to this statement Jesus said to love God with all your heart, soul and mind. So what can we do to show God love as well as our neighbor. What if God loves the people who you do not, and what if your neighbor is Buddhist or Muslim or Jewish? What could God be teaching us through this new season? Can we love those who are rejected and excluded?
