Adaptation

We’ve all heard that we need to learn how to adapt to new things.   I have to admit that that preaches real good but it ain’t so fun to live.  Yes, God has given us the ability to adapt.  In fact, those creatures that fail to adapt we now call extinct.  The problem however with adaptation is that it isn’t pleasant.

Last week my wife and I got a new bed because I’ve been having back problems.  Well, we went all out and got one of those memory foam beds.  They’re nice beds but they’re not like a traditional bed.  They feel very different and it is taking us some time to get used to it.

And if that is true of a bed what can we expect when we are faced with really big changes in life, like a recession?

So let me give you a little hope.  We will adapt to the new realities of our world.  We will make it and what seems to be abnormal and uncomfortable to us now will become a the normal way of life.  And who knows maybe we’ll even begin to like it.
