The last of the Christmas candy canes, crushed to bits, will go on top.<\/p>\n<p>Isaiah rolls the pin over the candy, hands small and strong. For a moment, I see my grandmother\u2019s hands, well-worn from loving well, curled over that same pin, rolling homemade noodles or crust for <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/recipes\/dessert\/pecan-pie\/\">pecan pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the essence of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/new-years-resolutions-that-are-fun\/\">New Year\u2019s Day<\/a>\u2014heart-holding what was dear but forging toward what will be.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/family\/embracing-change-for-the-holidays\/\">Change is at the center of life.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have to look far to witness it. My family is jumbled close <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/home-alone-four-fun-games-no-screens-required\/\">over game boards<\/a> and books, another tradition, but we\u2019re in a different home. A fire still crackles and snaps, but the hearth isn\u2019t the same. My bevy of boys still stretch over the sofa and chairs and they sprawl, lanky-legged, over the rug. But they are bigger. Shoulders broader. Voices deeper. It\u2019s a growing time. For them. For their daddy and me.<\/p>\n<p>New plans. New goals. New territory. Fresh, bright squares on a crisp, calendar page.<\/p>\n<p>My gut is to resist. To grapple life. To grip it with both hands. To tether time. Sameness brings security, and I long for that.<\/p>\n<p>Isaiah\u2019s chatter is as steady as the clackety-clack of the pin. The boys razz one another and laughter booms. Music from the 1940s comes from vinyl. But even in the bustle, I hear my soul whisper, from that deep place where all I know about the Lord lives. Where truth is stored like Old Testament grain.<\/p>\n<p>He is the security I need. He is concrete. He is constant.<\/p>\n<p>And as we move into a new year, this praise becomes my offering.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lord, I can find solace in change because You are steadfast!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Digging Deeper: Psalm 90:2; Malachi 3:6<\/p>\n<p>Excerpted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/daily-guideposts-365-spirit-lifting-devotions-of-faith.html\">Daily Guideposts 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. \u2014Hebrews 13:8 (NIV) \u201cMay I help, Mom?\u201d ten-year-old Isaiah asks. \u201cYou bet,\u201d I say.
