Change...yet constant...

It's time for a change this weekend.  Tonight, (Saturday), clocks will be moved forward one hour before going to bed.  Although I do not enjoy losing an hour of sleep, the time change is a reminder that spring is almost here.  The transition seems less abrupt for our family when we move our clocks forward during early afternoon instead of at bedtime.  Somehow, we seem to anticipate the change more readily than moving a clock forward at the last possible moment.  

I began thinking.  Life's journey also seems to be a constant process of adjustments.  Someone once said that "Change is the only constant in life."  There is truth in that statement.  When I reflect on the way life used to be as a child compared to the way life is now, there is no doubt that major change has taken place.  When I remember the seasons of my life, change is obvious.  People change.  Circumstances change.  Lives change.

  

While I have welcomed some changes, there are other changes I wish would have never happened.  That's part of the journey.  Yet I am very glad that there is something far greater than change that is constant in life.  I am deeply grateful that the One Who made me, loves me and holds me...never changes.  He was, is and shall be...forever!  Even when...especially when...everything else is changing, I find hope and peace knowing that He is with me..always.<3~thl
