CHANGE IS IN THE WIND

 When Hero and I headed out for our early morning walk this morning, the temperature was the high for the day.  That seldom happens.  As I sit here drinking my latte (I've become quite good at making those treats), the wind is howling.  I stepped out and immediately noticed a big drop in the temperature.  The wind is scheduled to blow almost all day--and the temperature will continue to drop.  There will be an over 20 degree fall as the day progresses and by our walk tomorrow AM--it will be almost 30 degrees cooler than this morning's walk.  The temperature is falling---winter is sticking its head out---ready or not--change is coming.  One thing you can absolutely count on is things are NOT going to remain the same.

At this point in life, I check every morning to make certain my heart is still ticking---my peer group is beginning to dwindle at an alarming rate.  That would be a BIG change if I discovered my ticker had stopped ticking.  My physical being is certainly changing---wrinkles, sags, white (Not Gray) hair have been a sign of my body changing.  LONG GONE are those days of the  intense exercise I once participated in.  How I spend my time has changed---no longer on the "work treadmill"---I have instead created a new job in taking care of my house and garden.  Once I had no leisure time---that has changed to too much leisure some days---I can become downright lazy when I pick up a good book.  If you think back over your life and consider all the changes, it seems we have rapidly morphed into who we are today because of on-going change.  The thing about change--is we do not actually know where that change is going to take us--until we have gone through the change and are standing on the other side.  It is a slow slide into the unknown of the future.

One thing never changes---God.  He never changes---He is immutable---He cannot change.  The description of Who God is contained in The Word---He will never change---no matter what the winds of time bring.  He will NEVER be less than He is now.

AMEN!

"I am the Lord,

I change not."

Malachi 3:6
