Happy Transition Day
So what is today for you?
Is it the last day of summer
A day off from work
The day before school begins
or
113 Days until Christmas?
Personally, I don't like this day,
because everything changes.
Pumpkins replace Buckets and Shovels
Bathing suits turn into Sweaters
Barefoot is covered by Ugg boots
Baseball is now Football
Bikes become School buses.
I don't know why I am so weepy,
as I write that last line
I guess because it takes me back
to the past
to not only when I was a child
enjoying summer days and nights,
but to the days when my children
where little children~
because they were all home
and they were free to just play
to just enjoy.
Oh to be a child again.
Today represents to me that
Time keeps a ticking~
as my oldest child
has her oldest child now
and will soon have her second.
Time keeps a ticking
even though the sun still shines
and the ocean waves crash
and the temperatures will remain in the 70s,
for most of the month.
Labor Day Monday
is a
transitional day,
but not for this rebellious child
because
I am a summer person
through and through
and will not pack away my flip flops~
even though I will continue
to be in transition~
as will you~
because as
Time keeps a ticking
He
transitions us
when
Peace replaces Anxiety~
"Cast all your anxiety on him because He cares for you." I Peter 5:7-9
Trust overcomes Doubt~
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6
Love overrides Fear~
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity,
but of power, love, and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7
Therefore
Let's make Today
the best
Transition Day Ever
by keeping our eyes on the
One
who never changes
but
Changes us~
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,
since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." II Corinthians 4:18
