life (on planet earth)

















like the topmost
tender
tree branch

life is whispy
and tis
light


"Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.  Remind me that my days are numbered...how fleeting my life is."  Psalm 39:4

We are definitely being reminded right now that our days on earth are short and numbered.  But as Easter approaches, we are at the same time, being reminded that death was defeated by the resurrection of Christ. I like the way C.S. Lewis expounds on this in his book The Last Battle:

"All their life in this world and all their adventures had only been the cover and the title page:  now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before."  C.S. Lewis
