I quote:
Do not ignore this one fact, beloved,
that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day

When we speak of the Divine Mystery as eternal, it reveals our understanding that Our Father is beyond our perception of time.
He is in reality...timeless.
Seasons are the awareness that good days, follow what appear to be depressing days, otherwise known as passing storms. Rain irrigates the fields enabling crops to grow, refilling our reservoirs to overflowing. In other words our perception of inclement weather can cloud our thoughts, sufficiently not to recognise the benefits that difficult days provide for our growth into the person better able to weather future passing storms.
Our tomorrow may well be the result of all that our today provides for our understanding, that change is the inevitable result of having learnt the lessons that our today is teaching us.
I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.~ James Joyce
Advent is much more than preparation for the arrival of The Saviour, when understanding that for Our Heavenly Father there is only now, with time a mere reflection of the human person's desire to count the passage of time anticipating the end of life's adventure.
Scripture reminds us "there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven"...leading the aware person to understand that what appear as bad times, is our life preparing a way for better days, with the passage of time of no consequence for the person living in the present moment.
In the Covenant between God, and His children there is a clear understanding that all Our Father's promises are honored, when we reciprocate doing all that He asks of us. While we the created impatiently wait upon The Lord to deliver on His promises, He reminds us that He delivers His rewards to us when we will benefit most... having remained faithful to Him, despite our many doubts.
The Lord does not delay his promise, as some regard “delay,” but he is patient with you,
not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
