We had to take our cats to the vet last week. We all dread the trip. The veterinarian is a wonderful person, as are all the staff. But it's the stress of the cat carrier, the car, and anything outside of normal for the cats. They slightly lose their minds for a little while after. But at the same time, as our kitties are aging (in fact they are in the geriatric life stage), it is so important and necessary to have a routine checkup for them.
Just as taking your pet to the vet is necessary for their health, so is embracing life's seasons and boundaries for our spiritual well-being. Everything has its time. Instead of seeking fleeting escapes, let's find meaning in God's eternal perspective. Trust in His timing and care, knowing He provides what we need for each season. Sometimes seasons are hard but continuing to seek God through them will make a world's difference in our lives.
