Learn To Say No...

 

When I think about the season that smells of pumpkin and rich spices;

I feel a cozy sensation that we have now completed another portion.

Because of the strong and bright appearance that a pumpkin has,

We can see that time can bring forth a strong and lovely stature.

I can't help but think of the changes that happen in our lives.

We cannot stop the process of life that does bring about these changes.

These things will always be in the process of change.

We can all say remember when;

We would be bored to tears if nothing ever changed!

If the seasons did not change, we would miss the delights and the sorrows.

The summer brings long hot days and balmy nights.

The fall brings fruits and harvest of much hard work,

And the colors that are on display,

They twist and twirl and seem to be having the last dance, as if to say goodbye.

Winter can be harsh and can keep us close to home;

When the evening starts very early, we can embrace the longer evenings.

Then just when we feel like the never ending season of winter.

Then along comes spring once again to remind us;

God is still doing a good work within us!

But oh, we can take the time to be diligent in  how we live our days,

We also can take joy...

Dear Ones if you are feeling heavy laden;

Give it to God and learn to say no when a demand results in crushing your joy!

We are not suppose to say yes, to everything that comes our way;

Because we can actually start to feel a social justice to the world that we must accomplish!

This can become a false duty rather than a calling from God!
