I had a great hike last week with Cali, one of our three Golden Retrievers, celebrating all the beauty of the new autumn season now upon us.

And, as so often happens during this, the fourth quarter of my life, my moment with Cali was made even more meaningful because one of the scripture readings last week was that memorable quote above from the Book of Ecclesiastes, one which became the basis for one of the most iconic songs in my lifetime — 𝑻𝒖𝒓𝒏! 𝑻𝒖𝒓𝒏! 𝑻𝒖𝒓𝒏! by the Byrds.

As Cali and I soaked in the cooler temperature and sheer beauty of the changing colors of the leaves, it made me thankful for some of those things I’ve been praying for and can now more fully harvest in the new season ahead.

And, with every change of the season, I can continue to ask the Lord for the strength and perseverance to be more mindful of those things I need to continue working on, but also those things I know I need to let go of.

In a way, every change of the season becomes a new canvas, a
𝑻𝒂𝒃𝒖𝒍𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒂 moment for each of us to examine what’s important at this time in our life and in our career and to discern more clearly what rocks and roadblocks keep getting in our way of God’s call.

To my clients, fellow coaches, and friends who might be grieving the loss of a loved one, a job, or a personal or work relationship that is currently challenged, I share this Prayer with all of you to help you discern and let go of those things that are getting in the way and to let God do the rest:

“𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅, 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕:
