Valentines day blues

Its getting awefully close to valentines day. And...of course...I'm single as usual. But yesterday at church the sermon was about the "seasons" of love.

Now...god gave us our single days for a reason....this is the season of winter....and if you garden or know anything about farming...you would know. Winter is a time of preparation. The ground readies it's self for new life in the spring. If you try to move past this season too soon, you may not be ready for what comes in spring

The next season is the season of spring...the season of joy. In this season we have found someone and were in those early days where their perfect and its perfect and everything is perfect. But he gave a warning. We shouldn't give too much of ourselves in this time....we need to pace ourselves. I've heard too many people say, "I love him" after like....3 days.....

The last season is the season of summer...which is the season of knowlege. In this season you get to know eachother in a deeper way than you did before. This is when you share those deeper secrets...of course you don't have to share details...in fact satan can work very easily in the details. But if you tell him about it...then it came out the correct way. He doesn't have to discover it for himself. He'll take it better from your mouth than if he were to discover the info on his own.

Although his series of seasons ends here...ide like to add my own. The season of fall. This is the time that all the other seasons prepared you for. The biggest example of this season...is the time when you get married. This is the season of harvest. Whatever you worked hard for...this is where you get it. And this is also a second season of joy. Your happily married.

But...after fall...always follows winter. For a bit...your marriage will seem dead...but don't worry....the cycle always continues. After winter is spring...and after spring is summer...ect. I can promise you. You won't have a perfect marriage or even a perfect relationship...but if you hold on through the winter...it'll be spring

This little analogy. Isn't set in stone mind you....you may experience a few seasons of winter during your season of summer...or a few seasons of spring during your season of winter....but I urge you to follow this as best as you can...
