Seasons Changing

I'm sitting here looking out over the small forest behind our house. It's been raining and cold for 2 days and the leaves are changing and falling off quickly. As I reflect on this I think about changes in our lives. I wonder how it is that we notice some of them when they happen because it's a big change and others just pass us by until maybe even years later. It seems like sometimes we only remember the ones that cause us sadness or grief. I believe if we look for the happy changes we'll find a lot more of them than the ones we think are bad. Really when you think about it most of the sad or bad times actually end up in a place where something good happened after all. As I begin a new season of change I choose to reflect on the positive. We might not be living in this house next year. There is a sense of big change coming for us but embracing the change and moving on is very exciting for me. It's my prayer that you will embrace your changes with the assurance that God is in control.
