Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
Change! We hate it. We also know itβs inevitable.
After 33 years of worshipping, loving, and serving in the same congregation, my husband and I are both retiring. Big changes and much uncertainty lie in our future.
New home.
New town.
New churches to visit.
New vocations of being retired.
One constant β Jesus Christ!
We know that we can face the anxieties, fears, and tears of an uncertain future with our never-changing Savior by our side.
He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to wipe away my tears,
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart. (LSB 461:5)
