Autumn Green


Early Autumn is still green as I walked through the park. More green means a little longer life before the leaves turn colors and die. The end of the trees growing cycle ends with vivid colors as the end of a day often brings beautiful sunsets. The end of a life cycle can be sad and also beautiful, especially for a Christian. The end of this life brings a new eternal life.

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 


A burl on an oak tree along the trail has been decorated through the years with a face that  looks like Cecil and his Afro hair is still green. Green leaves for some mean fun in the sun, outdoor activity and times of recreation. Spiritual re creation is a new life. Regeneration is a new life in Christ.

Tit 3:5  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 
Tit 3:6  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 


Green leaves on a tree are an invitation to reflect on life. Are we making the most of our lives?  Are we seeking spiritual things that will last? Is Jesus Christ Lord of our life? Many people seek wealth and power who will lose their souls because they despised Jesus.

Luk 23:28  But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 
Luk 23:29  For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 
Luk 23:30  Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 
Luk 23:31  For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 

 

A clock tower in Red Bluff was made as a replacement for a building that had a clock tower that burned up.  At the end of October daylight savings time will end. The time will fall back one hour. 

For those who have fallen away from God, it is time to give your life to Jesus Christ, who is the redeemer who forgives your sins. Jesus is Lord, the way and the truth that the watchtower cult does not believe in.

Joh 6:35  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 
Joh 6:36  But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 
Joh 6:37  All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 
Joh 6:38  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 
Joh 6:39  And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 
Joh 6:40  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
