Change

Fall is one of my most favorite times of year.  I love the colors, the smells and the “feel” of how nature is preparing for the winter, getting ready for different conditions, preparing for the unexpected.

I suppose I can draw the coloration to our lives.  We have seasons of change amidst our lives too.  We too are expected to prepare for the unexpected, prepare for different conditions, even at times that it is not realistic, not convenient, not wanted, and perhaps not understood.

Having faith, keeping faith, and trusting in what you are faithful to and what you are faithful for will may offer a bit of relief.  Of course nothing replaces that touch, those words, or simply a time to “just be” with a special family member or friend.

Let us pause from our daily lives and give thanks for the good things in our life, the good friends in our life, the cherished family members in our life, for our loved ones, and perhaps consideration for your own health, joy and peace.
