Change: A Natural Part Of Life

 As I was considering what lies ahead for us at work, I accept in my mind and heart that life is always changing.  Change IS a natural part of life.   I strongly believe that as various things happen to us, what we should choose to do is "look for the good and magnify it " (as Bro. Griffin is famous for saying).    Take each new situation and work through it to become better as we go through.   This (found here: Change A Natural Part Of Life ) expresses some of that concept but also adds to it.

Clouds do not stand still.

Trees bloom, then shed their leaves.

Tides come to shore, then retreat. 

Night follows day which in turn follows night 

Life is a constant cycle, 

Ever changing,yet never changing 

And we are a part of it all.

We will be here for a time,
but only until our time is done.
We have only just so much time
to make our mark,
So that we are worth remembering.
We should realize that we
are as important as the clouds, the tides
and the seasons.
We have our place and must play our part
as best we can in life's ever-unfolding story.

Let me age Lord, gracefully.
In love and strength and dignity.
Let me grow in wisdom each day.
And be a blessing in some little way.
