...is who I am
Change is something that I have to do, otherwise I start to feel a little of what I did the day I entered into an underground mine, like all the walls are caving in on me and that is not a very nice sensation, actually it is horrid and I haven't returned to a cave since that happened to me.
I like to drive different ways into town, buy a different brand of milk, explore cooking different foods, sit at a different seat every time I go to church (when I am in Geelong anyhow), and there are lots more. Change keeps me from settling for status quo.
Don't you think it's a funny thing as you age the things you discover about yourself, what your really like?
As much as I love change I value certain traditions also in my heart, ones that I never want to let go of, like playing Evie at Christmas (hence the last post), teaching Hymns to my children, standing outside waving to any guests we have had until I can no longer see them (that is a BIG tradition in our family), and having an exquisite lunch on the 25th of December.
That is a tradition and there are lots of reasons why I could break it, but I don't want to, I love gathering around the table feasting with loved ones and anybody else who joins us, it's special, it's a joyous occasion remembering our Saviours birth, even though it's not the 'specific' date, I am free to dance, worship and celebrate my Lords coming to Earth.
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed". ~ John 8:36
Freedom ~ what a beautiful word!
Forgive me for my twaddle post!
Not twaddly - love learning more about you! I'm constantly changing my blog around too. Even moving it. Good thing you stick straight with what really matters - so it's fun to be free with things that don't.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's twaddly either!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a creature of habit. Sigh. Your way is much more exciting!
I think habits are different from traditions and change! Like brushing your teeth every morning is a habit, not really a tradtion!
ReplyDeletenot twaddly at all!
ReplyDeleteI imagine you're a very bright colourful vivacious person, that's what exudes from your blog ( :) ) so changing things must be part of your personality:)
I like change too but probably not as much as you:)
And yes, I find I am getting to know myself better as I get older too!
Oh Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI also change the look of my space - many times over :)
It is good to change. It is good to grow and become better than we were before. If we stay the same...there is no new us!
I like your traditions and I enjoy visiting your little space.
Thank you for stopping by the cottage and leaving such a warm comment :)
Be blessed dear Sarah,
M.
I'm a changer too!
ReplyDeleteIt took me quite a while to blog back.
Thanks for your nice comments.
Beautiful post Sara. This is how I look at Christmas, a time of rejoicing for what He has done for me. Love to have others over and just enjoy the love the season brings.
