Title: Rest in all seasons

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Mat 11:28

The colors of fall show us God’s majesty and amazing creations. Spiritually, fall is a time for letting go of our burdens, releasing them to God, as quoted in Matthew 11:28. As the wilderness transforms to winter, there are no words to describe the forest covered in snow, the quiet stillness that snow-covered trees bring. Winter is a time we reflect on our spiritual growth, a time to examine our hearts and our purpose in God’s plan, allowing God to make changes in us. As we witness the seasons each year, we must remember we also live through seasons of change in our own lives. Seasons of sadness, loss, joy, newness, and spiritual growth.

Real Men rest with God as part of the seasons.
