“CHANGE!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 761

November 11, 2025//

The weather here in Georgia, went from beautiful to freezing in less than 24 hours. The 75’s turned into 27’s and we had to deal with it!

Some saw it a little warmer and some colder. Some saw a little snow accumulation and some saw flurries and some saw neither of those.

But there was change for all of us! We dressed warmer as the winds made the windchill temperature fall dangerously low and some stayed inside as much as possible.

But change, we did!

 Life is like the weather! Changes are a part of living. Some changes are good, and some are bad, but they all require a response to what we do.

Most of us do not swim in an outside pool in the winter. We do not wear heavy coats in the summer, and I could continue but I think you get the point!

In our daily life, we adjust our plans to accommodate the things that happen unexpectedly! We get a call about a loved one in the hospital or a sick friend needs us to run an errand or any number of things.

At various times we find ourselves in circumstances that alter the course of our future such as the death of a family member, a car accident or a doctor’s diagnosis!

What to do? We adjust just as we adjust to changing weather.

After the death of someone close we get into what many call a new normal realizing that things will never be the same as they were!

When our children are grown up with children of their own, we adjust. When we no longer can see well enough to sew, we adjust! When we cannot do our own yard work we adjust and pay someone to do it.

Changes in this life and in our surroundings and in this world are going to happen and sometimes it is hard to adjust to the changes!

But I have good news, there is something that has never changed and will never change and that is the Love of our creator God!

His desire for our good and His help if we reach out to Him is surer than anything we can see or touch!

James 1:17 (KJV) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

When our foundation is built on the truth of God’s Love and Jesus Christ gift of salvation, we do not need to fear change!

When we are secure in who we are in Him, we can walk in His guidance and make the changes necessary in our lives without fear and worry and fretfulness!

Matthew 11:29 (KJV) Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Matthew 11:30 (KJV) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

We can rest in every change in our lives when we are walking with our Savior, the creator of the universe, and we can change with the peace of God in our hearts!

We have no fear for the one with whom all things are possible is with us and will guide us through every change in our lives. Good or bad, large, or small, He is with us and fills us with peace that the world cannot give nor understand!

Change comes! Find your security in our Creator God!

 ***********************************************

Father, thank you for the truth that we can trust in you, and we can navigate every change with the confidence that you will never leave us nor forsake us. You are our comfort, our strength, and our guide! You give us peace even in the middle of the storm! May each of us lean on you and let go of all worry and fear! Amen!

Love, MeMaw!
