Yesterday Matt and I had a fun outing. I’ve been going to this mini golf course ever since I was a little kid. This is my favorite hole, although once I was a bit enthusiastic about getting the ball over the water and I hit a woman in the back a couple holes away. Thankfully she was okay and kind about it.

Anyways, while we were playing on the same holes I’ve played on for my entire life, it made me think how nice it is to have some things in life that are constant.

And no, not just mini golf courses, but with today being Good Friday, I am thankful that God’s love for me, and you, remains the same yesterday, today and will be the same for us tomorrow.

With all the changes that happen in life, I invite you to join me to…

pause. breathe. pray.

May we take a few moments in our day and think about all that changes in our lives. May we give thanks to God for his constant - and selfless - love for us, no matter the day, the posture of our heart or our circumstances. When we pause to consider this, I pray we absorb this truth to our core. May we let go of the idea that the only constant in our lives is change. Instead may we lean into the constant presence and love of God. And may we see that some things being constant in our lives is a beautifully thing, like God’s love for us, and being able to share a place from our childhood with our own children.

With love and hope,

Shawn
