As a retired History teacher, quotes always come to me. There was a great Indian chief of the 1800’s who once said, “One thing is for certain, there will always be change.” I think all of us are in agreement with that. Some of those changes come abruptly and those are the tough ones to accept. We mostly prefer the slow ones that gently evolve. One example of an abrupt change is a medical diagnosis. One cancer diagnosis or another disease will altar ones life completely. I should know.
At this point we have to track on the new normal. New normals are not fun. They can be somewhat complicated and quite emotional along the journey. I find myself at this stage in my life dealing with arthritis and aches and pains. I always thought those were reserved for old people! One thing that remains consistant though through it all is God. He never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. That consistency is reassuring. It gives me the energy to get out of the bed each morning and face a new day. If you don’t have personal relationship with Christ, I beg you to make a change. Read His word. Get to know Him, not the being you want Him to be but who He truly is. It will be a life changing decision.
