Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
Often times we feel like either we can't make a world of difference, or we feel that it's not going to change anything anyway. The truth is you can change someone's day, you can change someone's life, but you have to show up and do what you got to do to actually see any fruit coming from it.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Just like sunshine affects others, when the life of Jesus invades your life, you become a loving person. The effect on others is amazing.
Change can be frightening, and the temptation is often to resist it. But change almost always provides opportunities - to learn new things, to rethink tired processes, and to improve the way we work.
Change in all things is sweet.
After certain ups and downs, a person does change, and I have changed for good.
As human beings we do change, grow, adapt, perhaps even learn and become wiser.
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
