The Blessing of Sameness

Jollyblogger said: “The quiet, uneventful, regular life is the blessed life. I know that sounds so foreign to everything you have heard, but I can tell you that it is true on the authority of God?s word. “

We crave excitement, and I guess this truth must be balanced by the scripture ‘The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;

his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.’ Lam 3:22-23

I guess to me what this is saying is that in stability and steadfastness there is also newness and excitement. We tend to become too complacent and habituated to things that we are familiar with. To look on a ladybird with the wonder of a five year old child again would be a way of respecting this truth.
