Who Moved?

You may have seen that cartoon that pictured an older couple driving down the road on Sunday afternoon. She is leaning against the door on her side of the car and he is driving.  They're eager to get where they're going, but they're slowed down dramatically by a young couple who are cuddling in the car ahead of them and in no hurry at all.  Finding it impossible to pass, the older couple finally began to strike up conversation. The older woman looks across at her husband, then looks ahead at the young couple cuddling and asks her husband, "Why don't we sit together like that anymore?"  Quick as a flash, he responds, "I haven't moved." 

A relationship between persons and between us and god can grow cold over the years.  That's not God's fault.  God doesn't move away from us, but we can move away from god.  Likewise there may be a loved one - a husband, a wife, a child, or parent, with whom your relationship has grown cold.  You may be to blame. You may be the one who moved. You can do something about it.
