# 69 Dog Days

Summer in Texas is HOT. No big revelation there!..

I keep pictures like this to remind me that seasons change.  I now see more clearly the seasons of life having passed through a couple of them. With change comes excitement of what is ahead and a bit of sadness to know some things will not be revisited the same way ever again. Enjoy the moment what ever season you are  in. Good or bad, one thing is for sure..Things will change, you will get a day older and wiser.

Everything has seasons, and we have to be able to recognize when something's time has passed and be able to move into the next season. Everything that is alive requires pruning as well, which is a great metaphor for endings.

Henry Cloud

Ecclesiastes

3 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

2 a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 a time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
