Changes

Remember back when our current President was campaigning?  His slogan was, "Change."
He certainly brought that about...and most of it was not for the good of the people, either. However, this is not about him; and I am not writing a political post. I am talking about our every day lives. 

I am to the stage in my life where changes are happening at a rapid-fire pace. Within the last year our sons have moved out into an apartment that they share until July.  Then, both will have to move again to different locations because one is getting married and one has not yet found the love of his life. Both will move to locations closer to where they will be employed next year.

The other day, my younger son and I were talking about some things in my office.  He said, "You know, Mom, I am having a lot of new things in my life." Last year, he graduated from college and took a temporary job in a different town.  He moved to a different location.  He had to get a new(er) car. He fell in love and will begin a new life in September with his bride-to-be. 

Talk about changes!  He has experienced them.  Oh, and, in the near future, he will move again, start a new business part-time, work part-time at another job, learn how to be a newly-wed husband, etc.  He has a lot going on in his life.

While he is making a life of his own, his dad and I are making changes and adjustments of our own.  Our nest is empty! (except on weekends when they bring their voracious appetites with them and come home!) And with all of that comes adjustments...lots and lots of adjustments. And change! 

In the bigger picture, the world is changing.  Our laws are changing rapidly.  People are changing. Our lives are in a continual state of change.

However, with the changes in all of our lives, there is One constant!  He does not change! 

He is not swayed by the speeches of men... of what they promise or don't promise.  He is not swayed by circumstances.  He is the constant in every circumstance whether that change is for the better or not.  He changes not, never has, nor ever will!  That is a change we can count on. 

The words to the song, "Be Still, My Soul",  has these words in the first verse..."In every change He faithful will remain"....  How true that is!

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.  He never changes. Now, there is change you can believe in!

Thanks for reading!
