The poem that follows names contrasting seasons of birth and death, grief and laughter, keeping and releasing.
Read the surrounding paragraph before returning to the featured verse. Notice what comes before the familiar words and what faithful response follows them.
Reflect
The poem that follows names contrasting seasons of birth and death, grief and laughter, keeping and releasing.
Wisdom recognises that no single season defines all of life, and that timing is not completely ours to command.
Name your present season without comparing it to another person’s, then choose the faithful response it needs.
The page leaves room around the words because reflection does not need to be crowded. Colour as much or as little as helps you remain attentive. The aim is not a finished art project, but a truthful meeting between Scripture and the life you are actually living.
Pause and notice
A few questions to sit with
- Which season best describes your life today?
- What are you trying to rush or prolong?
- What response belongs to this season?

Faithful God, meet me in Ecclesiastes 3:1. Give me honesty about its context, wisdom for my own circumstances and courage to put its truth into loving practice. Amen.
Carry it with you
