A Normal Process Of Life!

As I watched the wind swirl some very dry leaves around my back yard, it really hit me that another autumn is upon us. Time moves by rapidly these days. In Ecclesiastes 3:1 and following it says, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted..." We have recently pulled some dying flowers from their pots, and each time we did it created a sad feeling. But should we feel sad over those things that are only happening because it is their time for change? I think it is fine to feel sad but we should recognize the reality of the situation. That reality tells us that what is happening is normal. Death is a normal process. Nothing will live forever. So let's enjoy each season as we acknowledge that it is the normal process of life.
