To Everything A Season By Joyce Hifler

I think that this book, To Everything A Season by Joyce Hifler, is one of those must reads in life. The book is inspirational and I have always found it a great resource to return to in trying times. I want to share this excerpt today in the hopes that it will bring you some of the same gifts that it has brought to my life, peace, strength and renewed perspective. Here is a favorite excerpt of mine from the book.

Life has its seasons . . . fresh, young, unpredictable . . . fretful at times . . . and yes, golden and strong in labor . . . rapid in growth . . . brave and pensive and fruitful . . . blending gradually until . . . one season is well on its way . . . before another has quite finished its work . . .
Through all seasons . . . through all the swift changes . . . of cold and heat . . . emotional outbursts . . . strengths and weaknesses . . . the pendulum of preservation swings wide with faith . . . because man can still control . . . the changes in his life . . . so that a springlike atmosphere . . . prevails right through autumn and winter . . . however hard the conditions seem . . . outside himself . . . if he has . . . an inner strength . . . he has nothing to fear . . . for then he knows . . . He knows the changes are beautiful . . . beautiful in their very nature . . . created to be so . . . And man need not resist . . . nor cry, nor find war a necessity . . . for there is a time in every life . . . a time to be born . . . a time to laugh . . . a time to weep . . . a time to seek . . . a time to love . . . a time to keep silence . . . a time for every purpose . . . a purpose for every thing under heaven!

"Hug for the World"

Hugs, laughter, smiles, the power of affection, joy, these are things that we all have in common. No matter what continent you live on, what religion you practice or don't, what race or socioeconomic status, we all experience these emotions from within on a daily basis. It is obvious that even the animal kingdom shares in these emotions. The physical distance between us may be great from one continent to the next but in reality, we are very closely connected to one another if we match soul to soul and heart to heart.
