We've only been here three years, with no winters warm enough for the pool. But I know from growing up in Texas that it is always a distinct possibility! Actually, this year it was nearly 80 just days before Christmas, but it had been cold before so the water was too cold without the heater. If we had heated it though we would've been able to get in and not have to worry about being cold when we got out! Texas is home, but I desperately miss the season of the midwest.Mariannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053480963082704523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-55875082864592556282011-01-24T11:44:25.764-05:002011-01-24T11:44:25.764-05:00Lovely Brenda...true and lovely.

Like you, I do believe I'm hearing Him more distinctly in this midseason of life...and am more accepting of the uncomfortable moments...seeing the bigger picture of the lesson needed to be learned (makes it all more bearable imho).<br />Love, good thoughts and prayers to you my friend!<br />Warmly,<br />Tracey<br />x0x<br />P.S. I know what you mean regarding swimming pools not mixing with Christmas...something I've been dealing with for years. That being said, I am appreciating the warm weather more than I ever have before...perhaps it's the midseason I'm in! ;)Tracey McBride ~ Frugal Luxuries®https://www.blogger.com/profile/03043055986653442733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-50327911622528611292011-01-23T21:26:48.593-05:002011-01-23T21:26:48.593-05:00Beautiful post and you make a good point about the...Beautiful post and you make a good point about the seasons.<br />Here in the frozen north, I downloaded a gorgeous picture of a field of daffodils as a screensaver.

I agree that Jesus teaches us in all seasons, if we will but look for the lesson. Of course, your wonderful post reminds me of that well-known and beloved Bible verse: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens (Eccl. 3:1 NIV). Then verse 11: He has made everything beautiful in its time. Thanks for the splendid reminder!

We need to maximise the moment, make the best of whatever season we find ourselves in, how true this is, and how often I have realised this all too late, and not seen the bounty around me. I think this might be what life teaches us along the years. Thank you for this reminder, sending warm thoughts your way!
