Dear Friends,

Change happens!
In the past few months we have heard from friends, colleagues, acquaintances and business associates that they are moving into new positions.
A minister friend retired, another is looking for a new position, one found a new church home and a cantor, as interim minister, had to leave her position and is looking for a new synagogue. Our banker retired, our investment adviser now lives in Oregon and is commuting back and forth. Some friends have moved to new homes. In the past few years our primary doctor changed and our dentist changed. We keep telling our wholistic doctor, he can never leave! ha ha. Ladies, you will appreciate this, my favorite makeup has changed and new bottles now hold my favorite hair products. And the list goes on. Whew!
This reminds me of a RIVER, the river of life. We all come from the same Source and yet our lives flow in different directions, making changes along the way, just like a river has to adjust its direction depending on the landscape, flowing over, under and around rocks, boulders, and trees etc.
When we can view our life as a river and know there will be rocks, boulders and trees in our way, as well as twists and turns depending on our choices, we can view it from the perspective of Spirit. All is well and so are we.
Our lives are meant to change. We can never be the same person today as we were yesterday, and that goes for everybody. Our thoughts, feelings and experiences shape our day, and our life. The Daily Word affirmation said,
“I am flexible yet strong in times of change.” Keyword- “flexible.”
How flexible are you in times of change? Can you flow like the river or are you trying to put up boulders and damns to stop whatever is happening in your life.
Have FAITH, and Bless the Change. It helps us learn and grow spiritually.
NEW is good. NEW is fresh. NEW brings us a different perspective.
Change Happens, all is well.

Flowing with ease,
Abigail and Steve
