Greetings!
"Change of Roles" (1 of 5)
Lord, thank you that when we experience changes in life we can handle them because of the preparation YOU provide for us beforehand!
This is especially true when there is a "Change of Roles" in our lives as Caregivers, Providers, Protectors, Confidants, Nourishers, and so forth for our families!
Certainly, this is the case when it pertains to our children!
As they are growing up, our impending "Change of Roles" in their lives is not fully understood!
Because of the times of aggravations and frustrations associated with parenting, we look forward with anticipation to the day when they will grow up; without having a clue as to the intensity that change will produce!

"Change of Roles" (2 of 5)
The reality that we will no longer be privy to the full scope of their lives is not fully imaginable or realized.
Nor is the reality that we will quickly be reminded by society that they are now adults and information regarding them can't and won't be shared with us.
Neither is the reality that we will no longer hold the "Reins of Control" to ensure that "All is Well" in their lives!
Yes, they grow up as they were born to do!
In a sense regarding our children, we acted like Lord YOU can sit over there, I got this!
I will take care of that! I will do this and that for them!
Even though it was true then, it certainly resounds in our hearts and minds now that when we were busy "Filling" those roles in their lives, it was really YOU working through us!
Rev. James Moore (He Was There All The Time) (Please Click here) |
"Change of Roles" (3 of 5)
Also, as we experience the manifold "Change of Roles" and are no longer the primary one to care, provide, protect and be the listening ear for and to them;
we learn we must accept our children's decisions and allow them to experience the blessings or to suffer the consequences of their decisions!
When the "Change of Roles" happens, we are faced with two choices regarding our children.
Either to worry about them and whether they are making the wisest decisions for their lives, if they are being as careful as we would want them to be, if they are choosing the "Right" friends, etc!
Or, we can choose to EMOTIONALLY release them into Your Loving, Protective and Strong Hands!

"Change of Roles" (4 OF 5)
Making a choice to trust YOUR love for them which is greater for them than ours could ever be!
Choosing to trust YOU to take care of our grandchildren and all that concerns them!
By choosing to trust YOU with "Our Cherished Loved Ones", it will usher us into a place of rest and peace.
We will be reminded that YOU have a purpose for their lives as YOU do for our lives!
We will be reminded that YOU will shine forth "Brightly" in their lives to attract their attention to be drawn to YOU; because YOU desire fellowship with them as YOU do with us!
I Will Trust You Lord. The McKameys (Click here) |
"Change of Roles" (5 of 5)  When we EMOTIONALLY release the "Reins of Control" over their lives that we DON'T have any way; we are free to grow and develop in our current stage of life. Life for us is not over because there is a "Change of Roles" in our lives! We are reminded as long as there is life in our bodies; there is the potential for growth and development in our lives! Thank You Lord that YOU will watch over our cherished loved ones! Thank you Lord that YOU are with us to teach us to let go as we need to! Thank you Lord that when the "Change of Roles" occurs in our lives; that we really can experience the awesome "Gift of Peace" by choosing to trust YOU~ We Love YOU LORD!!!!
Thank You Lord with Lyrics ---(Click Here)

Jesus Is Acquainted With Our Grief
Dr. Nola Veazie
As I watched Dr. Lewis' Sunday message on Youtube, I was struck by what she said regarding our need to move on, even when confronting grief. She spoke about the bereaved family's desire for the world to stop and stand still during their moment of grief; it caused me to reflect on the loss of close family members and the ensuing pain.
Friends when we grieve, we often go through a cycle that may begin with shock and disbelief and conclude with blaming God. It is difficult to see the love of Jesus in such dark times, but the book of Isaiah 53:3 tells us that Jesus was acquainted with grief. Jesus is a merciful and faithful high priest (Heb 2:17) and therefore able to console us in times of sadness.
We go through at least seven stages of grief, beginning with shock and denial and culminating in acceptance and hope; some people, however, get stuck in the middle stages of anger and bargaining and are unable to heal; if you are one of those people, don't hesitate to seek help from a pastor or a counselor. People who remain in an extended period of grief reaction are prone to clinical depression and other mental health problems.
Dr. Nola Veazie is the founder and CEO, of
V-Solutions Consulting. She is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC-II), and Continuing Education provider; she has many years of experience as a mental health clinician and trainer.
