Making Way For Pumpkin Pie 🥧 😋 A chat about the seasons of life

Join me for today's chat as we talk about enjoying every season of our lives. 

(Keeping it real on these broadcasts as the sound of an airplane is heard and the tumbling of objects are crashing in the background as our cat pushes them off the counter. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Real life happening on these sofa chats, people. Lol

 

(And speaking of changing seasons... please excuse my morning voice at times, affected by allergies. My squeaky voice gets the best of me sometimes. 🙃 Like I said... real life, people.😉)

In a fast-paced world, Sofa Chats invites you to slow down for a few moments to think about life and the Giver of Life. You'll enjoy its honest, conversational, and poetic approach as Valerie candidly shares her heart, her fictional & non-fictional stories, poems, and devotionals. Each one is intertwined with little discoveries she has made about God from His Word, from living everyday life with Him, and from quiet moments spent with Him. She encourages every reader that God greatly desires to connect with each and every one of us – showing us who He is and who we are in Him. So come on in! There's a place on the sofa saved just for you.

Seasons Change

written by: Valerie E. Bailey

 

The change of season shows life and death.

It reminds us of its cycle --

that nothing ever stays the same

and we can't hold on nor take it away.

It's just the way it is, 

so it's best to just embrace the change.

 

For, if we tried to hold onto summer

when fall is on the way,

we'd be swimming in the chilly air 

and missing football days.

 

And if we tried to wish away 

November and December,

we'd miss out on things

like Christmas lights and 

making memories to remember.

 

And if we thought that April showers

were no longer needed here,

we'd miss our flowers when May arrived,

for there was no rain to make them thrive, I fear.

 

So, we take each season and hold it close,

knowing one day we must let go.

But letting go means grabbing on

and so the cycle goes on and on.
