Changes
Hello Everyone! Today is the day we will be open to all changes. Maybe you want a caramel frappe’ instead of a Chia Tea! Perhaps you will skip that croissant and have a fruit parfait. In this world today any change can be difficult. We rely on repetition or routine; never changing the obvious. Often we come to believe that nothing needs changing, readjusting, added to, transformed, or just made different! Sometimes our relationships are the same but need a crucial altering or amending. Are there ways to better that connection by just making one adjustment, a change? Change your words, change your actions. People will notice the small things. You will see the change and then you will see the difference that change can make in everything around you. We don’t wear the same clothes day after day, (unless unknown circumstances are the reason) we make changes. The list of reasons for doing so is long. By changing we take off the old and replace with the new. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” So, becoming a child of God enhances your ability to change; all because He places the desire in your heart to be NEW! Do you not notice that your own attitude changes when you switch from work clothes to comfort clothes? At home, you are more relaxed; but why not carry that attitude of positivity to work, school? Believe me, others will notice, and you might get surprised that the atmosphere changes! Why not use this same example by using changes in our everyday language, attitudes, attributes, quest, thoughts! Mentally, many of us like that the routine never alters; and that their life never changes. But if we realize we really don’t have to do drastic changes just begin subtly. Those simple changes will just be a challenge and not a mental break. Once you changed your regular life to a God life, every other change will fall into place because you are changed! Make that effort today and change at least one thing you do routinely every single day! Make that change with enthusiasm and an open heart, even your family will join in! Incorporating new with old just makes life more exciting!

Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank you for this day. Grant me the ability to see change, to make change, and to accept change. Help me to see that some things must change to keep our lives running smooth. Lord please give me strength in the adjustment to whatever change comes along my journey. Allow me to adjust in a way that is pleasing to you as well as those around me. Please empower me to find your guidance in every step of every day. Amen.
