change and loss

my husband and i are going thru major life changes. new place, new job, etc... but at the start of all this change a few weeks ago, a good friend basically said that God was being merciful and making the changes less drastic that they could have been. well... i... . was so caught up in what i was loosing, (which i needed to deal with) that i couldnt see, that what our friend said was true, however inappropriate his timing was. now, looking at this thing without the loss factor, i can see that indeed God has been more than merciful and gentle with me, in the changes going on in our lives. He has made this thing relatively easy, although at first it did not appear so.
with that hurdle crossed...on to the next.
