Everything has a beginning and an end, every situation, every thought, every emotion, every day it begins, it may not stay for long or it can be with you for ages but it will eventually end and then it is replaced with another.
Where does it go? “Nowhere really” it just becomes past and it is over and a new whatever has begun.
When it is something wonderful, we want it to stay, we relish and enjoy that moment ( but unfortunately it doesnt) and when we are going through something painful we want it over with, for it to hurry up and go away ( and it unfortunately doesnt)
Life is really about accepting that we are continually moving through yet another set of circumstances which will inturn be replaced with different ones, each containing a series of different emotional responses.
Our present moment is replaced with yet another present moment.
Raising Children is forever changing, with each year, each age it presents itself with unique blessings and hardships but it never stays the same, we move on a couple of months and another set of circumstances raises its head, change begins again.
Learning to take each moment and accepting it for what it is, experiencing all that , that time has for you and exploring yet agin a mixed emotional set of circumstances, knowing that it wont stay for long but will change.
Life is a constantly changing adventure, I think that once we can begin to see clearly that nothing stays the same, we can begin to practice a more positive outlook in even the most difficult times, changing our perspective from survival mode to trustng and thankfulness.
Move confidently in every circumstances with the assurance that “This too will pass”.
Our only stability, THE ONE THING THAT DOESNT CHANGE is our rock and our stronghold The Lord Jesus Christ.
It’s unbelief when you cant trust the Lord
It’s rebellion when you wont trust the Lord.
