My mother in law went to be home with the Lord on Thanksgiving Day. She was in the hospital for two days prior to her passing. While the family was at the hospital my granddaughter and I were at home getting ready for the holiday. Within those two days our Thanksgiving plans were changed five times. With all the change taking place it became a teachable moment for Lexi, and myself. I want to share what we learned with you because life is full of changes.
Changes in life happen as a result of choices we have made. Sometimes we go through changes that are out of our control. Some changes happen because they are part of the cycle of life. When they come, we have to learn how to adapt to them and handle them the correct way. We have to learn to "go with the flow" of what is happening and not allow them to frustrate us, aggravate us, make us angry, worried or fearful.
When God created the Chameleon lizard, He gave it the ability to change colors and adapt to its surrounding. It seems so effortless for it to change and become a part of what is happening around it instead of being in turmoil. Would the Lord do that for this tiny creature and not do the same for us? No. God has given us the ability to adapt to life changes through His Holy Spirit. Is it always easy? No. Is it possible? Yes. The Holy Spirit will give us the grace and peace that we need to change and adapt. We don't have to allow a change of plans to upset us when they happen. If we will allow the Lord to help us through the change, we can make the transition in peace.
Have a great day. The grace of God will help us to adapt with peace when life brings changes.
