Embracing Change, Embracing God
As we embarked on a journey of downsizing, we found ourselves surrounded by the remnants of 47 years of memories. Every nook and cranny of our home, from cupboards to closets, shelves to storage rooms, was filled with treasures from a lifetime of experiences. It was a daunting task, but one that forced us to confront the ever-changing landscape of our lives.
The Constant in an Ever-Changing World
Our children, once dependent on us, have grown and flown the nest, starting their own families and forging their own paths. We’ve changed addresses, careers, and even churches, as pastors moved on to new congregations. Hobbies that once brought us joy have given way to new passions, and our bodies, once strong and vital, have undergone the inevitable transformations that come with age.
A Rock of Stability
Yet, amidst all this change, one constant remains: God. Unwavering, unshakeable, and unchanging, He is the North Star that guides us through life’s turbulent waters. His presence is a comforting reminder that, no matter what life throws our way, He is always there, leading, guiding, and protecting us.
The Security of God’s Love
God’s love is not fleeting or conditional; it endures forever. He never leaves us or forsakes us, never grows old or tired, never falls ill. His faithfulness is a beacon of hope in a world that often seems unpredictable and uncertain.
A Sense of Peace
In a world that is constantly in flux, it is a profound comfort to know that God remains the same. His love, His guidance, and His presence are the anchors that hold us fast, even as the winds of change howl around us. Father, we thank You for being our rock, our refuge, and our guiding light. Amen.
