The older I get I miss many seasons of my life, living back home with the freedom of a child. having my Dad and Mom around, my brothers and sister. I Miss many friends and family I never see anymore, the people who helped me become a better person,the radio stations I worked at and much more.  I treasure people. I treasure every new person I meet, that’s just how I am. It has been 17 months now since I went into full time ministry, a full calendar year has passed, Jan. through December. What a season it has been.So many miracles, so many new doors to walk through. Walking in complete faith that the Lord will provide our daily bread, What a season of learning, I still fret at times about daily bread, but God shows up. We treasure you all who support us. You see when God called me and Sharon to go into full time ministry, He stressed to us, show My light to one person at a time, one person at a time. We do that to the best of our God given ability. The seasons are changing as we speak. It has been a season of health challenges at the Moede house in December and January, with Sharon and Reno, we are coming out of that season. All of a sudden yesterday it was announced that Minnesota Twins General Manager Terry Ryan has cancer. Terry is in a new season, where he thought, like all of us he would be in a new season of baseball in spring training that is getting ready to start, but it turns out to be a new season of health, his life. Sharon and I were talking this morning that time is speeding up, seasons are changing faster. Technology changes cause my blood pressure to rise at times! What we do at the Ministry, a lot is driven by technology and it is beyond me how all this stuff works and when it does not, Ugh! I think of my seasons as a child, and wish my kid’s and all kid’s could grow up in that peace, I guess that’s why I fight hard everyday for children. I miss the smell of fresh hay on the farm back home, I still at times will walk into a home or church or business and the smell will remind me of things of the past, like the other day I swear I smelled my Uncle Joe as I walked into a room, a man had on the cologne he would use. That brought Uncle Joe to the front of my mind and gave me great peace. I think of the time at a basketball game my Dad and I were watching in Slayton, Minnesota and I bought him an ice cream bar, he was so touched, I used the money from my first paper route!  My dad wept as he took his first bite of that ice cream bar, the first time I was able to buy him a treat. What God has given me is what I have experienced in past seasons, to use those experiences now and into the coming days. Not to be locked in the past, but to use the past experiences now in this world we live in today. It is at times trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, but God is with me. The key is to not let the past weigh you down but to lift you up as you go through life. That is another thing that drives me, helping people with their past so that it does not hinder their future. I have been called an old fuddy duddy, and I’m thankful fr that.

This is a beautiful poem……..

By Roy Burton

The summer now draws to its close,
We bid farewell to long, hot days,
And look towards the autumn time,
With morning dew and evening haze.The landscape now a quieter place,
Those happy times where we would spend,
Embracing all of Nature’s gifts,
Fond memories ours at summers end.

The golden hues of shrubs and trees,
Now herald in the autumn scene,
The countryside will soon be still,
Where busy creatures once had been.

And in the towns and city streets,
Warm coated figures now appear,
The crisp, chill air and morning frost,
Forewarns that winter days draw near.

Then in the homes throughout the land,
Safe from the biting winds that blow,
The people meet with smiles and love,
And gather round the fire’s warm glow.

No place here for solemn tales,
With friends and family at our side,
There’s magic as the seasons change,
For it brings the joys of Christmastide.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, ‘A Time for Everything,’ is a cherished Bible passage often quoted atfunerals and memorial services. Tradition tells us that the book of Ecclesiastes was written byKing Solomon toward the end of his reign.

I want to share this with you on seasons from Pastor Steven Furtick that appeared in the Christian Post:
