5 Minute Friday: Change

I can feel it in the air.

Yet things are so dry here, it has been in the air for weeks.

Change.

Fall. Dry leaves. A richer shade of sun. A resumed schedule.

It brings Awana, school, a doctorate student in my house, and quite frankly a new person.

This change, a falling off of the old, and a new person emerging is hard work. Changing to allow the old habits to be swept into a pile. The old ways only led to death within me.

I am scared of this change. Of this newness emerging. It feels different. Really different.

I welcome little hands around my waist. Bringing out old clothes that are out of style. Skin that appears healthier.

I don’t know why I accept this change with a sort of begrudging grace . . . unlike the scores of other times I refused to allow the leaves to fall from my trunk.

But this season, it will be a beautiful one. A fall like no other.

STOP

I’ve been smelling autumn in the air for weeks now – and it’s been rainy here! Autumn is, to me, a two-edged sword, as I love the crisp air and the beautiful color, but hate the long, dark, cold months it ushers in. I like your second-to-last line, though . . . “But this season, it will be a beautiful one.” I need to hang that on my wall where I can be reminded to see the beautiful, and only the beautiful, in every season.

Thank you.
