Every Season
by Nichole Nordeman

Every evening sky, an invitation
To trace the patterned stars
And early in July, a celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice You
In children's games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are summer

And even when the trees have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and what's to come
You are autumn

And everything in time and under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white, all creation
Shivers underneath
And still I notice you
When branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter
You are winter

And everything that's new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
What was frozen through is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every season's change
And so it will be
As You are re-creating me
Summer, autumn, winter, spring

So many things I've meant to say
So much I've meant to show
It's easy letting time go by
And to think somehow you'll know
So I wrote this song to just make sure
You never doubt it's true
That I thank God for you
I thank God for you

You spend yourself so freely
In the things you do for me
You're always there to lift me up
When I'm less than I should be
To earn the kind of love you give
There's nothing I could do
And I thank God for you
I thank God for you

I thank God because He's given me
A lover and a friend
With a heart that I can trust in
Through it all until the end
I thank God because you're more
Than I had ever hoped to find
No one else this side of heaven
Gives me so much peace of mind

The years have gone so quickly
Since we changed to one from two
But time has just intensified
The bond I share with you
And, yes, I'd do it all again to love you as I do
I thank God for you
I thank God for you

Recycling and upcycling is a critical part of our sustainable environmental awareness. Remember when we were still in primary to high school days and sometimes we have school projects out of recycled materials? I think if you live in the developing countries, recycling is already part of the lifestyles compared to the western countries where they will export their recycled overseas instead but at the same time, the western countries environment still littering around where I live in Australia. Mind you, school kids even litter over our backyard as we are just a fence away. There are many endless ideas for teachers to encourage their school kids to create projects out of recycled plastics and tins lying around. I believe it's time for Australia's schools to lead the way after China ban any recycled materials being exported from Australia anymore.

Top 10 recycled plastic decoration ideas online through my lens in no particular order. Make it counts to save our toxic plants and give life to our wildlife they deserve for our next generations before the "end of the world". There are many ideas out there but let's make it a bit sassy. 😎
