Things Change

On our way to preschool and work this morning, our little guy asked, "Why is it so dark?" "Well," I told him, "It's because we changed times." To which he asked, "Why do we change time?" So, I told him that we change time so that we have more daylight throughout the work day. Of course, his next question was, "Why?" To which I replied, "It was important years ago for the farmers to have more working time during the farming season so, we go to daylight savings time during this time of year so that the farmers can work longer days." Then, again, "Why?"

Things change. Time changes. Seasons change. We each change as time moves on. For a guy like me, who likes his ruts, change can often prove to be a challenge. Now, I am also very adept at overcoming and adapting, but change can be difficult.

Today's word is Psalm 103.17, NLT, which reads, "But the love of the LORD remains forever with those who fear Him. His salvation extends to the children's children."

One thing that does not change is love, most especially GOD'S love. We all love our children dearly. I don't know about you but I would bet that nothing can ever stop you loving your child. Nothing will ever stop GOD'S love for us, His children. NOTHING. He loves us FOREVER.

In our lives there will be many changes. Just about the time you think things are stabilizing, watch out for the change. Change is a natural part of the earthly life. Yes, times and seasons and health and body are going to change. I am so grateful that GOD is eternally the same no matter what things change.

Be Blessed,
