I remember this song which describes the seasons we are entering, it goes something like this ” the falling leaves drift by my window, the autumn leaves of red and gold”; do you know this as a love song or as a song of mourning? The lyrics indicate a loss of love as it states ” since you went away the days go long and soon I’ll hear old winters song, but; I miss you most my darling when autumn leaves start to fall”. There seems to be something missing from a life that was once complete. We may not know how the loss occurred, but; we can feel the hearts longing.

What’s your hearts longing? What is missing from your life? Have leaves fallen from your family tree leaving branches bare? I’m sure we can all say we have experienced falling leaves, love lost to time. Winter is approaching when time seems to slow it’s pace, it doesn’t stop and it waits for no one; however, it doesn’t move as fast or so it seems when winter shows her face. Nature closes her eyes to sleep that regeneration can begin, it sheds what is old that new birth can come forth.

The sleep of death is not the end of the story, it is just a intermission from life; death lost it’s sting with the resurrection of Christ. Only His love can perfectly fill whatever is missing in your life, satisfy the hearts longing and grant new life. We know death is a part of life, the leaves will fall, but; those who sleep in Christ will see new life and that with immortality. We have God’s promise to all who walk in the shadow of His Son Jesus the Christ, eternal life. We have this hope when we submit our lives and will to the Father that we will walk in renewed life by the love of the Son at His return.
