This year has been a really odd year. There is so much uncertainty, and in particular a lot of uncertainty surrounding how schools are going to respond this fall to the presence of a virus. If we choose as adult to focus on this all it is very unnerving and I cannot even imagine the children adjusting to all of the changes and unknowns of what school will look like this fall.
This is a great time to talk with your kids about the uncertain nature of the world in which we live and the very certain nature and character of God. Our God is a God who does not change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And therefore we can have confidence and hope in Him for all time. Our world however changes. Our own lives are described in very temporary terms - we are a vapor, a mist that is here in one moment and gone the next. And yet our unchanging God cares about what is happening in the midst of our uncertain lives.
Point your kids to God. Point your grand kids to God. Point yourself to God and realize that in the midst of all of the change, there is certainty in Him. Take hold of that certainty and find hope!
