OLD & NEW

AS I sit out here on the deck, this afternoon,it is quiet, except for the traffic going over the Whale Branch Bridge. The leaves on the trees are almost stripped bare, and yet, as harsh as it seems to look at,I know that "the old has passed away;the new has come". Even though they seem stripped right now, they will undergo a transition when spring arrives and turns them into something beautiful and new. A new,green transformation will occur!
We as children of the Living God, will do the same thing.We will put off the old ways, and sometimes that's hard to do, but in the end,the new will appear and we will be transformed into new creatures in Christ.
Atleast I know I won't be a tree!
