As I looked outside yesterday, I noticed the trees in the backyard have not only changed colors, but almost all the leaves gone. Nothing ever stays the same! Would we want things to stay the same? Sameness is comfortable and safe. It is predictable, almost boring!
Sometimes I fight change instead of accepting it for what God intended for me.
Change is good and healthy. Can you imagine one of your children never growing? Always being a baby? Living with you forever? (yeah, I know, we all want that) But... seriously, that is not comfortable or safe!
I'm so proud when I think of each of my kids off on their own, living their lives, raising their families, working and contributing to life. Yet, sometimes, there are those times, when walking by one of their rooms, or looking at old pictures, or sitting and eating lunch with one of them, when I wish, just for a moment that things could stay the same for awhile.
