TIDES OF LIFE

Tidal waters have always fascinated me; they are constantly advancing or slowly receding. The rise and fall of each cycle is very subtle and easily missed, but it happens without our permission and is beyond our control. So it is with everything in life; as one friendship dwindles, another strengthens. Youthful growth turns into retreating health while foolishness shrinks away and wisdom takes its place. Treasured things deteriorate and unimagined new things emerge. Father Above, You are the Eternal Constant and with every loss You provide a tidal deposit as a parting gift; I truly marvel at Your wisdom and love Your ways.
