TRANSITION!

WHAT A WORD ,WHAT A MEANING!
WHEN I WAS YOUNG I COULDN,T EVEN SPELL IT!
NOW IN LATER YEARS -BOY HAVE I LEARNED THE MEANING OF
TRANSITION!

HOW ABOUT PERHAPS THE FIRST MILESTONE MARRIAGE?
IS THAT A TRANSITION OR WHAT?
I LEARNED NOT TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT MYSELF,BUT
ANOTHER PERSON--DIFFERENT LIKES ,AND DISLIKES.

WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN -LETTING THEM GO BE THEIR OWN PERSON.
PERHAPS ALL YOU HAVE TAUGHT THEM THEY WALK TO A DIFFERENT
DRUMMER,PERHAPS THEY DO NOT FOLLOW THE PATH YOU
HAD INTENDED .
TALK ABOUT TRANSITION,LEARNING TO BEND AND LOVE ALL AT .THE
SAME TIME!

THEN THERE IS THE EMPTYNESS OF LOOSING A LOVED ONE
A BIG GAP TO FILL .DO I FILL IT WITH NOTHINGNESS,OR
MEANINGFULNESS?

YEARS OF LOVING,CARING,AND SHARING,AND GROWING ALL COMES
TO A SCREACHING HALT!
SOMEHOW GOD IS ALWAYS THERE TO FILL IN THE LONELY GAP!

TRANSITION -IT REMINDS ME OF SUNRISE TO BRIGHT DAYLIGHT-
THE DUSK TO DARKNESS.

HOW ABOUT THE TRASITION OF A NEW JOB OR A NEW HOME?
IT SEEMS ALMOST DAILY WE ARE FACED WITH SOME KIND OF
TRANSITION.

I REMEMBER MY WONDERFUL CHURCH -WITH LOOSING OUR
MINISTER WITH CANCER .ANOTHER ASSOC MINISTER
RETIRING WITH PARKINSONS.

ANOTHER TRANSITION -AN INSTITUTION SO SOLID AND FIRM ,
I THOUGHT THAT WAS MY FOUNDATION -ONLY TO LEARN
IT,S REALLY BACK TO GOD IS REALLY THE ONLY DEPENDABLE
FOUNDATION WE REALLY HAVE!

DOES GOD TAP YOU ON THE SHOULDER EVERY NOW AND THAN
TO REMIND YOU -IT IS NOT ABOUT US ,IT,S ABOUT HIM-
LOVE,HELP,FORGIVE,BE HIS HANDS,HIS FEET, HIS VOICE,AS
LONG AS WE ARE ON THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN!
THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS LESSON ON TRANSITION!
