Raising children on a farm can be really great ... they have room to run and play and they are exposed to some of the wonders of Creation on a regular basis. They learn can learn resilience, the ability to act on initiative and to take responsibility for animals and people too.
But the very earliest thing we've tried to teach them is the command to 'stand still'.
Farms are also dangerous places and (when outside their fenced off secure safe area around the house) they had to be able to be stopped!
Today I got an online message from a person who works for LinkedIn, American business and employment-oriented online service that operates via websites and mobile apps.
Here's what it said:
"The world is beginning to see some bright spots in its battle against COVID-19. As a result, many people are thinking of shaking up their careers as restrictions are lifted and economies improve. In fact, experts are predicting a “Great Resignation” due to people wanting to move on and try something new."
At one level, that is understandable.
The normal sort of employment 'churn' at the normal sort of rate may well have been frozen by the impact of pandemic and lockdown, but the sense that things are easing and the return of restlessness - change for change's sake or change for the sake of it as a response to lifted restraint? Surely, that could be unwise and unhelpful?
No doubt the effect of restriction and restraint creates a sense we could 'do with a change'.
And no doubt when a change occurs in one part of life, we can experience a rush of desire to cast caution away and go pedal to the metal for 'the whole hog'.
What ... ALL change?
The Point
The Takeaway
If we're looking for a change because something has changed, that could be GREAT!
But let's be sure that it is HIS change that we're looking for ... because otherwise we could be just leaping into the dark.
