Seasons of ministry may change, just as the seasons of nature change...especially here in Missouri! After raising our four daughters, and pastoring the same church for 25 years, I find myself in a different season, serving in a leadership role alongside my husband in district ministry. My call to serve has not changed; how I live out my call has.

There's a beautiful ornamental tree outside my window. I first observed it when we purchased our home last spring. It was gorgeous! I had never seen a tree so full of such exquisite blossoms. As I have watched it this past year, it has gone through many changes. It's purpose has not changed, but the seasons have taken it from a tree bearing white blossoms, to one full of emerald green leaves. It then went through the  leaf-dropping fall and the bare limbs of cold winter. Now, I anticipate the approaching life-giving spring to once again bring my bud-laden tree into a full eruption with those beautiful fragrant white blossoms!
