To everything there is a season: Claim yours now!

Hello dear friend,

I wrote the post below some years ago, but I think you will agree that it is as relevant today as then. Today as I walked around my neighbourhood I saw many butterflies of the cabbage white variety, and they are flitting in good numbers around my garden too. So, summer 2025 is clearly their season! 

What about you? Is it your season to flourish? Please read on... 

Hello there,

Today, on my walk up the narrow path, between the field of sheep and a paddock and along to the gate about fifteen minutes on, I saw that the foxgloves, nodding like marker flags along a slalom, were putting out the last of their bells. And that other tall pink flowers were taking over their watch amid bracken which is now shoulder height. 'To everything there is a season,' I muttered, and it set me thinking.

I have noticed over the seven years of walking this track that each year a different species flourishes more than the others. This year, for instance, the blackberry bushes are more abundant and tenacious than usual. So if you enjoy jam making or a slice of homemade blackberry tart - in Wales usually baked on a deep oven-proof plate - expect a bumper harvest when the fruit arrives. Now though, the bees and butterflies are feasting on the fragrant pink and white blossom.

Speaking of butterflies, they too take it in turns to outdo each other. Last year the cabbage white was the most plentiful. This year though, a pale tiny butterfly, no bigger than my thumbnail, is the species I see most. This little creature is having its day. And I don't even know what it's called. 

Life ebbs and flows. Do you feel like your life been on the ebb for ages? If the answer is Yes: step up to the plate and claim your flow, your success now!

Try this prayer, or one of your own, to bring that before our Heavenly Father:

Dear Lord, you know my heart and everything about me.

I surrender my life to You trusting that with Your help

I will be able to use the talents You have blessed me with.

In this way I will be carrying Your Your will on earth. 

Yes, to everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3)

God bless
