How Will You Handle Change?
By: Maxine M.
Have you ever sat back and considered your life then sighed happy and content
Problems all seem solved & now its smooth sailing…the message life has sent
You worked so hard to this point…ahead lay years of peaceful retirement
BUT LIFE IS FULL OF CHANGE…
Suddenly your health is gone…problems no one can solve or reverse
Those “Golden Years” are spent dependent on a care-giver or nurse
That happy sunny disposition changes to sadness, depression or worse
HOW WILL YOU HANDLE CHANGE?
Your JOB is “challenging”, but rewarding…you’ve given it your complete devotion
Even through those “problem solving times” when you DESERVED a promotion
You stayed LOYAL while others constantly caused a commotion
BUT LIFE IS FULL OF CHANGE…
CHANGE has hit your company…new bosses are in control now
Or your job is lost, future UNCERTAIN…you simply must start over some-how
Worry & anxiety flood your mind, but a defeated spirit you must not allow
HOW WILL YOU HANDLE CHANGE?
The wedding day was beautiful!! In great expectation you signed your name in INK
Soon came those days of diapers and baby bottles in the sink
And days of scraped knees, lost toys, potty training & hearing, “Mom!! I need a drink!”
BUT LIFE IS FULL OF CHANGE…
They NOW think they are independent…ready to take on life’s demanding test
The apron strings must be untied…or “loosened” at best
Or perhaps yours is a home where all the “birds” have left the nest
HOW WILL YOU HANDLE CHANGE?
A Major decision in life is what area and which house to buy
We all have unique needs…where to live, love, laugh & cry
A SAFE, sound, sturdy “HOME”, on which we can rely
BUT LIFE IS FULL OF CHANGE…
The evening news shows how a home can be LOST in the blink of an eye
By storms or perhaps financial ruin…our broken spirit can only ask “WHY?”
Or a move is on the horizon…so hard to tell family & friends “Good-bye”
HOW WILL YOU HANDLE CHANGE?
All sorts of people fill our world…our loneliness they help abate
Friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and that special “chosen” mate
Their humor, wit, laughter, even tears…our very soul can saturate
BUT LIFE IS FULL OF CHANGE…
People can grow apart and become indifferent…time and distance can be to blame
Irreconcilable differences or loss of emotional ties can do the same
And it’s assured in our lifetime…the death angel, a loved one, will claim
HOW WILL YOU HANDLE CHANGE?
It’s the spring-time prom…she checks the mirror to see if everything is alright
With dark silken hair & long flowing gown, she’s an elegant sight
OH!! How graceful she’ll dance in her young beau’s arms tonight
BUT LIFE IS FULL OF CHANGE…
The legs are now stiff…every movement takes determination, strength and might
Wrinkles appear in the mirror…raven hair has turned snow white
The beau became a husband…but went home to Jesus one devastating night
HOW WILL YOU HANDLE CHANGE?
Reality is “CHANGES” are INEVIDIBLE…will happen along life’s path way
Some are subtle, some drastic, BUT SOME changes are for our BETTERMENT…time will convey,
If instead of RESISTING, we listen to what the Holy Spirit has to say
HE IS IN CHARGE OF CHANGE!!
So we need NOT FEAR “unavoidable” change because Jesus NEVER changes, we discern
In HIM we find UNSHAKABLE certainty, Blessed Assurance…for which we yearn
And He’s PROMISED to help us THROUGH the changes…help at every turn
PLEASE LORD, HELP US HANDLE CHANGE!
