This view. Often during the summer months, I will gaze upon this tree cementing the memory of its green lushness in my mind. When the winds turn bitter and snow covers its branches, I’ll close my eyes, remember what once was, and be reminded that spring will come again.

Yet, this morning, as I took in this view, God reminded me of something. There is beauty still here. In the midst of changing seasons, there is something for which to be thankful. There is beauty to be found.

Life is like that as well. We go through seasons in our lives. Some may feel really hard. Some may seem more beautiful than others. Some we will long to return to. But, regardless of the season, there is something for which we can be thankful, and there is beauty to be found. We have to open our eyes and our hearts to see it.

What season do you find yourself in right now? Are you walking through something hard? Are you experiencing change? What is one thing for which you can be thankful? What beauty do you see before you?

There is beauty in the changing seasons. Don’t miss it.
