Change is Inevitable

It's April 11, 2011 and life is changing. 

Change can be good, but it can also be very hard. 

Change means the snow is melting and trees are budding. 

Change means there is adventure around the corner. 

Change means saying good-bye to friends that have become very special 

to you, with little chance of seeing them in the near future. 

Change is that heavy round stuff some people tend to carry in their pockets. 

Change buys Tim Hortons coffee!!! 

Change is packing up all of life's valuable possessions, and moving from one community to another, sometimes even to another country. 

Change is having a birthday. 

Change is coming back to your home church after being gone for a while, 

and being welcomed with open arms by a little girl who isn't so little anymore. 

Change is the multiples of grey hair that seem to be appearing 

more and more too frequently. 

Change is repainting your room, from a drab off white, to yellows and reds. 

Change brings joy.

Change brings tears. 

Change causes growth. 

Change is inevitable. 

       We can't be 23 for the rest of our life, nor can we always have spring and summer. Life is like that. The more we live, the more we change. The more life changes, the more we long for Heaven. Longing for heaven brings us closer to the realization that this world is not my home. Longing for Heaven brings us closer to Jesus, with the desire to spend more time sitting at His feet. Help me, Jesus, to use this period of change to secure myself in You, as I long more for Heaven every day.
