“Life is full of change.  Some changes are good.  Some changes are welcome.  Some changes can make us feel as if we are being thrown into the eye of a storm.   Try not to be anxious when change comes.  Try to face your change with optimism, looking for the new beginning that it will bring.  See your change as a chance to start something anew.  Accept your change bravely as God faces it with you.”

His healing grace will come upon you and you will be restored and renewed.”
