Well, as Christian bloggers, I do not know who would not think of Ecclesiastes 3 with this prompt. It truly is one of my favorite chapters in Scripture; To everything there is a season… Although I thought of 2 Timothy 4:2: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season.
So the question for myself is—how can I be prepared in and out of season? What exactly does this look like? Golly, sometimes I am not even prepared to make dinner for us at the last hour! Yet when I think on this verse, I am reminded to always have my eye and thought toward Jesus. I know then He will establish my thoughts, for He promises that. I find it a wonderful thing to keep myself focused on Jesus, yet I fail to do just that.
I do like being prepared though, i.e. prepared for the day, putting things in order before I need them, and planning ahead. Though I may not always know just what I am going to prepare for supper one night, I endeavor to keep my eye on Jesus. For He shall keep me prepared both in and out of season by His good grace and love towards us, if we would just turn to Him. Glory!
I’m not good at being prepared to make dinner either! Good admonishment to be always be prepared to give glory to God and to speak as he directs me. Visiting from FMF#20

I honestly didn’t even think of either passage. All I considered was how the seasons of life all teach us something. Are we thankful for what we learn? It’s fun reading the takes of others on the same word. π FMF24
Ha! Isn’t that funny? Me and my assumptions! π¬ Yes, so thankful for what I have learned from all these grand seasons of life. FMF is great! I enjoy it very much.
With a Corgi in your lap
you have found the road to grace
with no need for Android app,
but you are still lacking space
for a Corgi is not small
(a quite large dog on legs quite short),
so it’s not amiss to call
for help that you may fast abort
the cutting off of circulation
to lower extremities,
which may result in situation
that is surely not to please,
so rise, and test legs newly numb
while Corgi watches, playing dumb.
Andrew, this is too cute. Made me smile! Thank you for brightening my day. ππ
