This beautiful orb hung out on my back deck all summer. With the changing of the season she’s all packed up and gone. I miss her. I miss the web, watching her work, and most of all that she wasn’t scared to be with me nor I her. The conversations she so quietly listened to, the tears, the pondering, the ideas I shared with her are gone. She was the best because she just listened. No argumentative responses, no judgement, no advice… she just listened and worked. Yet, I know she is resting up, hidden from the cool fall breezes and coming cold winter. She will return in the spring. She’s not gone. Right now she is fortifying.
Change is hard, fearful, and often draining. Many times it’s unpredictable, unexpected, and even when it is expected, like the seasons, it is sometimes hard to adjust to the change. But, there is one who lives in our spirit, Holy Spirit, who never changes. Fortify in Holy.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
Is there anyone you need to sit with and just listen?
