“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; May 13, 2008

 

          The death of a friend, our youngest child graduating High School, a boss retiring … it’s been an interesting month around our house! 

          As I reflect upon this month one of the things that I have seen is change.  Whether we like it or not, the informal definition of life is “change”.  We may like the status quo and we may resist change; but, we can’t stop it; so how do we deal with it?  If there is one key to surviving change it is having a solid foundation.  That foundation can come in the form of a set of moral beliefs, ethics or even a conviction in the value of what we are doing; but, if we have something that is important to us, no matter what changes, we will be able to adapt and adopt.  Honestly any of these can provide a foundation; but, the most solid foundation upon which we can build is one on a spiritual conviction.

          What is important in our lives?  Is there any way that it can be shaken?  If so, is there something better out there?  The reality is, whether we are eight or eighty, life will continue to change; let’s be wise in what we choose as our anchor.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
