Last Saturday found me going to St. Louis. A young woman in our congregation gave birth to twins and I went to visit her and see the babies for myself. Driving home I was surprised to see snowflakes falling from the sky. It is not that I am surprised at it snowing but to be snowing after a week in which some of the temperatures had gotten over sixty degrees. The snow kept coming and when I got up on Sunday the snow had covered not only the ground but the trees and shrubs as well.
Interestingly by Sunday night the snow had melted. In Illinois the weather can change quickly. Reflecting on the weather is a reminder to me that life is much the weather. It is filled with many changes. I know that my life has gone through many changes. I have been single and married. Living in more than one community has brought me many different challenges and joys. When I became a father my world was enlarged and never the same. I would have never dreamed but being a grandparent continues to bring out a side of me I find delightful.
It would appear to me that the one certainty of life is change. Through all the changes experiences of life that I have gone through I have found my faith in God to be my rock that I have clung on to for safety. Today I am thankful to the One who is Eternal and gives me a solid foundation to build m life upon.
