I haven’t posted anything to my blog for two years!  So much has happened in my life since then.  You probably know what I mean.  Nothing is as constant as change.  That is the way of the world.
One thing never changes…..God’s love for us.  That is a constant. No change there!!
I suspect that many of you have experienced some tragedy in your life. The loss of someone dear; a dreadful health report; frustrations; the list goes on. I’m here to report that I too have had my share of frustrations, anxiety and fears.  Change!  Not everything that I wanted but change came.
Sometimes we wonder where is God in all of this.
OK…..so you and I are on a journey in life.  But for whatever its worth here’s my take on how to cope.
1.  Have a good cry.  When we’ve been hurt by life, by people, or by events there is nothing more cleansing than a good cry.
2. Prayer.  Some things are just not meant to be handled alone.  And even all the support you have may not provide the comfort you really need to understand why this happened.  Taking your problems to God is the most reassuring way to lighten the burden that makes your heart heavy.
3. Surround yourself with real friends and family. They will provide the moral support you need. Some will provide sincere sympathy.  Some will feel  your pain. Some will just provide encouragement.  Oh, how we need them!
4.  Be thankful.  Value those things that are constant in your life. Be thankful for the things that bring you security in the midst of your insecure moments.
5. Have faith.  God ix there…….He is always there. He knows.  You will look back at this time and realize He was there all along.  You and I will be taught how to fly!
