Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!
Make a personal reflection about this.....

Very interesting, read until the end.....
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women who mocked God :

Ablaze 1:1
In the beginning was Oopsie, Oopsie was with mum, Oopsie WAS mum, and through mum all Oopsies came into being.

An elephant was drinking out of a river one
day, when he spotted a turtle asleep on a
log.

So, he ambled on over and kicked it clear
across the river.

"What did you do that for?" Asked a passing
giraffe.

"Because I recognized it as the same turtle
that took a nip out of my trunk 53 years
ago."

"Wow, what a memory" commented the giraffe.

"Yes," said the elephant, "turtle recall."

I wasn't sure where to put this so I believe it is encouraging to some who are going through bad times. It proves God is with us even in those bad times and can use our experiences to show that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. He also shows us that what seems kind of dumb is something that can make us happy in His time. God can use anything to teach us something and give us relief.

Who would ever think, going over old tax receipts about 30 years back, could be a source of joy and accomplishment? It was just that to me.

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner. As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!

Blessed morning my friend,
Woke up at 5 with the most wonderful feeling! Something I never felt before! As I lay awake, more wonderful ideas came to mind. I am going to send this to all my friends.

I was dreaming that I was moving into a brand new home. Someone was putting new windows in---something I never saw before. I just saw hands (the hands of Jesus finishing my mansion! ) One window had baby designs. Lovingly put in.

Other people were around. I didn't really know them but at the same time I did know them very well.
