Plans change. It's understood that what is planned in life is not what always happens. This weekend was no exception.
My family and I planned a trip over Labor Day weekend. It didn't happen. When we came down with the flu, it changed everything. Lists had been made for traveling, packing, cooking and other details. Yet the focus soon became recovering. We were disappointed, to say the least. Yet in the middle of so much change, we realized the blessings in taking care of each other, slowing down and simply being together. (Tylenol, cough medicine, sleep and movies helped, too.)
I began thinking. Although plans changed for our trip, we found much for which to be grateful. Isn't life like that, too? Life brings change on many levels. Our plans don't always go as we had hoped. We find ourselves in very different places and situations than we ever imagined. Some changes are very positive while others are very challenging.
I am thankful that in the middle of countless changes in life, there is One Who never changes. His Presence remains. His love remains. His hope remains. His peace remains. His power remains. He remains the same...yesterday, today and forever. Knowing He holds me in His hands...holds me together. Thank You, God.♥~thl
