The Sunshine Is In Season

With each addition to the book comes feelings of joy and of sorrow. Today I spent a little while with Season Barfield. Season lost her mom to the 'C' word when she was eight years old. It seems so unfair to me that a child has to live without their parent. After a while with her and hearing her story, I began to realize what a strong, loving person Season really is. She has a huge heart, loves children, and in her you can see joy in her big smile. What was taken away from her at such a young age must have only made her stronger today. Without the death of her mom, I may not have ever been blessed to have met this sweet, caring person.

My day had some pretty rocky places in it and I could tell that Satan was trying his best to intervene in what I know is God's work. Season was God's way of saying, "It's all good, because I'm in control". I am so blessed to have met this bright ray of sunshine. She is a part of our Relay committee and now she's a part of my 'C' word family. Thanks, Season. Who knew that God could show me something way out in Cottonville? There may not be cell phone service there, but God sure is. I love you, girl. I know your mom looked down from Heaven and smiled.
