Transition

Time has been in its usual supply around here fopr the last ten days or so. The catch? Many more bits o' flotsam and jetsam have been swimming the currents of time in the twenty-four hour cycles we call a day. The moments and minutes have housed transitions for many of our loved ones, and transition can be a bit consuming. There have simply been more needs, prayer requests, and conversations to share with those we love in the most recent days. It does not look like things will be slowing in the future.
In the midst of friends with new jobs, job losses, homes on the market, new homes, moving, looking for a home, returning to a transatlantic home, children starting college, children starting home school, children beginning kindergarten, spouses going back to school, newborns, spouses with stress, spouses with cancer, spouses out of town all week, siblings at war... *sigh* I find that the precious people around me are giving constant opportunities to build into their lives and to care for them even as they grasp for the golden ring of hope from the grinder of daily chaos. Every moment invested in others is time well spent.
