Ecclesiastes 3:1:
“For everything there is a season, a time for everything under heaven”

Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all.

In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon writes about the passing of time and the length of our lives.
We are like the year, in that our life goes by in segments. In the year, they are called 'seasons'.
The months of March, April, and May we typically refer to as 'spring'; June, July, and August are the long months of summer; September, October, and November constitute autumn; and the harsh cold of winter comes in December, January and February.
What's interesting to note is that though we may know what season we are currently in, we can't ever tell exactly when it will be over.
In our lives, God will send periods of time in which He will teach us new lessons, and send us new blessings. He gave us the ability to discern what those lessons and blessings are, but requires from us faith as to when that time is going to end.
But like all things that are in His hands, we can trust it to Him.

Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.
