LIFE IS CHANGING, BUT...
I was driving past Garner High school and it brought back many memories and thoughts. Garner High School was built in the 60's and my children's father went there in the 70s. My children went there in the 90s and 2000s. Many football games there. Many activities that we participated in. Now the building is gone and a new bigger one is coming up. This then led me to think about how life has so many changes. Nothing stays the same. New growth in housing, buildings businesses. People come into our lives and leave our lives, by moving on or by passing away. It is sort of sad in a way, but we are to think forward. The past may have been wonderful, but God says to not look to the past. Memories are good and they are bad. Forget the bad and hurt. Hang on to the happy memories. Hang on to the memories that made us grow. We are not who we used to be. There is a verse in the Bible about not thinking the past was better than today. (Ecc 7:10 ) Even though our lives are always changing , seasons they call it. Seasons of life as there are seasons of nature. The seasons are not always the same. Our lives are not always the same.( Ecc 3:1) BUT, there is one thing that is always always the same. God's word, and Jesus. (Heb 13:8) We can count on this. We can depend on this. We can trust this, as we can trust God that he has plans for us (Jeremiah 21:11) and he has our backs always always always! You just have to love His Son, Jesus Christ and believe He is the only way to eternity in Heaven. (John 14:6, John 3:36 and Romans 6:23) Heaven where there will be no more tears ever again. (Rev 21:4)
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
