The change of seasons

-

Sitting on my front porch in the balmy weather with the neighborho­od cat, I am reminded that, before long, our plot of dirt will be covered with all the colors of the rainbow and the cold of winter behind us, and life will be good once again. The critters and birds that come to my abode are already marking their spots for new life and scamper and flit about happily at the feeders and crushed acorns under the big oak.

This change of seasons is an indication that the creator has not disappeare­d from the natural order of things. I know many today will not accept the revealed word as absolute eternal truth, but that does not negate the fact that I believe it is still as true today as it was in the beginning of creation.

This leads me to understand how far we have strayed from the original design, for regardless of the new labels assigned to people as transgende­r, gay or anything else, it will not stand against the word of the living God. Yes, I know, many will reject this with their own version of the lifestyles chosen by many, but it’s not my words they will answer to in the end. I believe God is a just creator and has revealed all we need for life according to his design and it will not change. Regardless of human plans to turn back the clock, the world is still on the timetable of its creator, and it is swiftly coming to its conclusion.

We live in a dark and dangerous time and life can end suddenly without warning. Jesus, the eternal creator, has given us the true path to his new earth and forever dwelling place when he stated that he was the way, the truth and the life. Don’t wait to be prepared. WILLA ROMINE Bryant
