Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens.
Autumn has long been my favorite season. It occurs to me that I’m in my personal autumn. Childhood was spring. Motherhood was summer. Grandmotherhood is autumn. And it is a grand season.
And what season is Great Grandmotherhood? Winter? I like winter–It is a beautiful time, but snow, ice and wind can be challenging. Kind of like old age. But being a great grandmother is pure joy, maybe like a fresh snowfall (since I don’t have to shovel it!).
Snow-angel winter!
