It is official. Fall is here. I think I am ready for some cooler weather and fall is one of my favorite times of the year. Of course I am usually ready for a change of season. One of the reasons I like the different seasons is that I enjoy a change. Today as I sit in my office I have the window opened and cooler air is making its way into the room. That is a change for the warm summer air that I kept out most of the summer. I find within myself many contridictions. On one hand I don’t like change and on the other I enjoy it. I suppose the simple answer is that it is the type of change that causes me to pause or rejoice. Change is a very complex subject indeed.
But as complex as change is it is always taking place all around. I know this fact by just looking down the street I live on. There are many changes that have taken place in the last year. People have come and gone. There has even been a new business started on my street. But most of all I have changed. God continues to work in my life in many ways. Sometimes it is so subtle that I hardly notice it but change is happening. Today I rejoice in a God who calls out to all and ask us to be open to change that is all around.
