Embracing Change With Thanksgiving

Embracing Change With Thanksgiving

Writing for five unedited minutes on the prompt “Embrace” for Five Minute Friday.

 

Change, my new and unfamiliar friend

wraps me in an embrace

these cool mornings.

Every time I see a new sunrise

I embrace a morning of change.

Nothing is new with you, Lord.

A thousand days are one to you.

But for me

change is constant as ocean waves

especially in this year of movement.

I weather these upcoming changes

with thankfulness and reflection.

Your constancy steadies me

as I prepare to take a leap.

Your faithfulness carries me through

this windy, wild season.

Your presence walks with me

as I navigate new places.

I thank you for new life.

I thank you for your perfect timing.

I thank you for staying by my side

when everything is shifting.

No motion is too strong for you.

No wind is too powerful.

When you called Peter out on the water

you had perfect dominion.

I am stepping out of the boat

placing my feet on the unstable surface

and reaching for the security

of your waiting embrace.

Every time I see a new sunrise I #embrace a morning of #change. Click To Tweet

Questions for reflection:

How is God calling you to step out of the boat and onto the water?

How does God’s character anchor you in times of change?
