A really good friend of mine is retiring today. I have but one emotion - JEALOUSY. I am not envious our covetous but I am a little jealous of the thought of having a little more free time to be available to do other things. He has worked hard and is now about to begin a new chapter in his life. Congratualtions!
There will come times in our lives when it is time to begin a new chapter. We have quoted before that you can't move on to the next chapter until you stop rereading this one. Life is dynamic, ever flowing, ever moving, ever changing. We have to seek GOD'S will and rest assured that He has everything worked out for our next chapter - He does.
Today's word is a scripture that is quoted often. It reminds me that things change: "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1, ESV)
Just as the seasons change throughout the year, seasons will change throughout our lives. Our children are born, then grow older, with A LOT of changes throughout that process. The older I get the more I remember all the things I used to be able to do. Yet, this season is also very precious, very humbling. To think that Trish and I are about to celebrate 29 years of marriage is staggering to me. It's hard to believe how quickly that time has flown.
There is a season for everything. Whatever your season is, seek GOD'S will and know that He has plans for the next. Whatever the chapter you find yourself in, GOD is there. Whatever comes, GOD has a plan. Whatever arises, GOD will see you through. David, congratulations on a new chapter!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
