Spring reminds us that change is inevitable. While change is sometimes difficult and unwanted, Spring changes can be rejuvenating and inspiring. These next couple of months can revive our wonder about nature. The reawakening of plants, trees, and vegetation of all varieties. Our courtyards are coming back to life!
The world, and it seems, Crossroads at Delta, is in constant change. But that’s nothing new, is it? As an older adult, you’ve been living with change your whole life. How many jobs did you have? You saw your family change throughout your lifetime. (Who ever imagined you’d have a 50-year-old son!) Your health, your passions, and even what you like to eat, have likely all gone through change. You know about change. You know, better than anyone, change can make us stronger. It gives us milestones, markers for our growth, and our capacity to grow. When you think about it, change is the stuff the story of our life is made from. Without it, we have no story.
This spring, good or bad, take courage, and embrace the changes in your life. That change is your story, and your story is valuable and valued.
Through primsrose tufts, in that green bower, The periwinkle trailed its wreaths; And ‘tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breaths.
The birds around me hopped and played, Their thoughts I cannot measure: But the least motion which they made It seemed a thrill of pleasure…
- William Wordsworth

The name of the church is Pescadores de Hombres, which in English, means Fishers of Men, taken from the remark Jesus made to his followers regarding His mission for them.
