A NEW SEASON


When we move
into a new year, new place,
or new season of their lives,
we take with us
the things that are important to us.

As I move into another season in my life,
I choose to take with me the warm memories
of meaningful relationships and treasured time shared.
I cannot pack them in a box;
they are contained within my heart.

We may not see much of each other
in the weeks, months and years ahead,
but be assured
that the God we serve
never changes.
And we can trust Him
with the many and varied changes,
those chosen and those we would not choose,
that enter our lives!
