Today’s word: CHANGE
Life seems to be a series of changes. Growing up. Getting married or pursuing the single life. Having kids. Or not. Sometimes we flow from one season of change to another.
Sometimes it is a bumpy ride.
Change isn’t my favorite thing. Unless I am getting new clothes or shoes!
If I buy new furniture, it will stay in the same spot for months, even years.
One thing I am working on is embracing the season I am currently in. Wanting what I have, rather than wanting what I don’t.
Embracing today, rather than looking to tomorrow.
Embracing this struggle, rather than looking at someone else and envying their life.
You see, I can only see what that other person WANTS me to see. And it may not be reality.
So, I will want what I have, not what I don’t.
I will embrace today and not look tomorrow.
I will remember that often change…brings hope.

Your change is what I need too. Joining you from FMF
Thanks for stopping by. You should know I didn't get to this stage without a struggle! 🙂
I needed the reminder that Change often brings hope. thank you sweet friend
Praying you experience hope friend.
The blooming Cactus is certainly changing and I want to embrace change and not dread the upcoming events that may bring something unwelcome. I must remember to accept each day and live if fully not looking ahead or behind at what I fear.
Praying for you as you walk this road of change.
Beautiful words, Mary. I am trying to embrace change myself as Matt heads off to school full time tomorrow. Time for a new season myself. Embracing this change is hard for me, but I know some good will come out of it.
Praying to want what I have. Yes! Thank you for giving me this new perspective today!
Change Brings Hope I love that. Each day I learn that is more true. I could never have imagined where I sit today when I was a girl struggling to make it out of poverty and a life I didn't want. My only hope was to change. And now I am blessed beyond belief.
