EVERGREEN

When I drove to Aiken today, I passed a variety of trees along the side of the road that were evergreens, but the trees next to them had a shock of a deep burnt orange on them. The brilliant green had finally run its course, and faded into new colors. It was quite evident looking at the two trees next to them too!
I'm reminded, when I look at those trees, to enjoy life, because there is a expiration date! We can't always be young, and "green" with youth, because the colors of age creep in fade out our expressions. Our bodies have been placed on this earth for a certain time frame, but we are being continually renewed, by the renewing of our minds, so even though our time span on this earth may be winding down, our souls and minds are winding up for Christ, and they will be evergreen!
