Transition can make us feel homeless. Not exactly comfortable with our new reality and yet not entirely comfortable leaving what we had come to know and love. To say it can cause unrest would be and is an understatement. How do you handle transition? “Handle the transition with patient and discipline,” author Matthew Kelly suggests. It’s good advice and not just because I love his Australian accent. But how do you handle transition? The answer isn't binary: well or not well. What are the practical things you need to do in order to transition safely, joyfully, and and peacefully? Living the answers to this question leads us to live in the present which is the only place we are supposed to be.
“It’s what’s unchanging in your life that helps you make sense of change,” Kelly adds. If the love of God is unchanging; what does it mean to abide in Christ’s love? It means to walk through the Crossroads with grace and strength, trusting the peace which Christ gives sustains us through any trial of life – the Good Fridays and the Holy Saturdays- and that as we walk, we participate in the joy of Easter Sunday. Let Him be your home.
Verso l’alto,

Settle down, it’ll all be clear
