Over the past week or so I have found myself pondering this story of the seasons and how each season is demonstrated to have a value. I have been challenged by witnessing a dearly loved family member aging and suffering with dementia.
It is tempting to think that this is a barren period with no prospect of future blossoming. But maybe the blossoming can be found in others whose lives have been touched by this wonderful person. God’s ways are a mystery and often truth is to be found in a very counter intuitive way. This is giving me comfort as I value and honour the life of my dearly loved relative.
