thinking it through . . .

Contemplative . . .

So many times in our lives we think that our "little worlds" will never change.  The way things are will always be "the ways things are."  Sure, children grow up, the living room gets a new facelift, and the way we perceive something takes on a new perspective.  But, the way we live and the circumstances we are in, seems to stay mostly the same.

I, and we as a family, are currently NOT in one of those places in our lives.  The past few months has beckoned a new way of relating to one another.  This past time together has afforded a doorway for each of us in the family to walk through and make decisions on what we value, what we hope for, and what we stand for.  It is definitley a time of HUGE change.  A contemplative time to stay focused on God's plan for our lives.  A decision making time that will alter our lives together, forever.  May God be glorified and honored in our words and our actions.
