CYCLE OF LIFE

I wish I had been born in a culture where people refer to the Fall season as Autumn. Autumn sounds so cosmopolitan! Not Fall. Fall is a dreary name for a dreary season.

All right, Ms Miserable. What’s your gripe?

Generations come, and generations go,

but the earth lasts forever. Eccl. 1:4

As I walked around the yard I found rose bushes in various stages of beauty. Granted we do not think “beauty” when we see the lush colorful flowers drop and leave only hulls. But look with an eye of vision. If the bloom doesn’t drop, no new blooms will come. Very much like life, isn’t it?

Overall life’s cycle consists of youth, maturity, old age, and death. Odd that death is always added into life’s cycle. Only one of these age seasons is guaranteed; that is death. Humm.

The Bible says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” Ps 116:15

The Writer of the Bible is the only one who sees the result of death. He knows. There must be something good! Spring must be coming! Youth must be coming! The roses must be coming.

SIGNIFICANT NOTE: You see that that Ps. verse has a very important modifying phrase; that is, “of his saints.” I believe the Lord grieves deeply when the will of a man or a woman refuses to accept his offer to become his saint. His saint, his follower, a believer in Jesus Christ.

“Jesus is the only way to heaven. Such an exclusive statement may confuse, surprise, or even offend, but it is true nonetheless. The Bible teaches that there is no other way to salvation than through Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself says in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” https://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-only-way.html For more in depth look, visit the link.

If you wish to “bloom again” you really should give thought to the matter. Death of the body is not death of the soul. Where will you go when you no longer live in your earthly body?

About oneta hayes

ABOUT ME Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...

      Other people, like I, have had what they believed were glimpses into eternity. But those stories are not sufficient to base one’s eternity on. But the Bible is. On it I place my trust. I do believe “me” is not my body. If all my limbs were amputated, I would be no less me. That “me” will live after death according to the Bible. It tells of Jesus who is the route to an amazing eternity. I think I remember that you have visited me before. You have a lovely blog. I clicked your follow. Thanks for the comment.

    The question has been answered and guaranteed by Jesus. The Spirit leads us to believe that.

    Thank you. Great post. Seasons like butterflies hold secrets to liife’s deeper secrets. Jesus Christ came indeed to be the human bridge between humanity and ETERNITY. I am the Way,
