Changes

Change is inevitable. However sometimes it comes slowly over time and other times change happens suddenly.

I go out to walk most mornings about 5:30. Yesterday it was 44 degrees when I left home. This morning it was 67 degrees. I’m pretty sure ny body doesn’t know what happened to it.

That change was easy to adjust to. Other changes are harder to understand and accept. For instance, I am 70 and my mind and body are not in sync as to what I can and cannot do. My mind says I can do it but my body balks.

We are all going through a lot of changes these days. We have gone from strict stay at home orders to a loosening of restrictions. How we adjust to these changes depends, in large part, on our attitudes. If we grumble and complain the adjustments will take longer and be harder. If we have a positive attitude, then the adjustments will likely be shorter and easier.

I think the apostle Paul said it best when he wrote, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” I Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV
