Things Change

We have a friend who recently lost her husband. Although some marriages work with two people sharing only essential things as they go through life, this particular marriage was a partnership marriage. They did everything together, shared everything together, loved life together. So, death left a tremendous void in the life of the remaining partner. I couldn’t help but wonder how she would deal with the emptiness in her life. But I’ve observed that it is being filled with her faith. It seems that people of faith have an inner strength to cope with major life changes. They have a long-range outlook that declares, "things always change, but my Creator never changes. His promises have been proven historically and personally throughout my life." Those people who draw strength from their Creator are an inspiration to all of us. They give us hope during times of change in our own lives.
