The Harvest Season: Restoration and Hope

Sometimes, at this time of year, our emotions seem to mirror what we see in nature. We’ve basked in the sun, we are bursting with energy and, just before Fall, it seems that we have done all the growing we can possibly do in the heat of summer. There is nowhere else to expand.

Yet with the Fall season, we waken anew to the cooler temperatures. We feel the shift, we feel the letting go. We feel the signs of harvest. It’s almost time to come home; come inside. This is a time of hope and of bounty.

This year, create a harvest for yourself. You have planted the seeds to welcome in this harvest season. Take time to focus on things that are good and possible. What decisions give you peace? Make them.

At times, we may feel discouraged as though we are not growing or that God is not working in our lives. This season is a healthy reminder for us to renew our spirits with the loving words of our Heavenly Father to restore our faith. If you are searching, find some time with God.
