Over just the past month, so many good things have come to a final and complete end. The first being my time at my small middle school. There are some people who I went to school with for three years that I will never have the opportunity to see again. Another good time that ended was the church camp. It was so awesome there, but that too had to come to a close. Yet another was the Arizona trip. I was able to see people I hadn't seen for 2 years (or like 1 year and 11 months) and view the Grand Canyon for the first time in my life. Yet another took place just recently. I helped out at VBS at my church. It was so fun just to help out. I felt useful and important because the kids I helped always seemed to want to copy me in craft and sit next to me in service. I had a great time. But that too had to come to an end, just like all good things. Why do good times have to come to an end? If they didn't, I think that they wouldn't be good anymore. One way to prevent good times from ever ending is too refuse to have good times at all in the first place. But that is definately not the best solution. One verse that sorta applies to this is found in Proverbs 14:13: "Even in laughter the heart may ache,
and joy may end in grief." I guess that could possibly be talking about how even when a person is happy, they could not be looking forward to the end of the happy time. It could also be referring to being dissappointed about the good time ending after it ends. I'm not exactly sure. Is it really worth it to worry about the end? I don't think so. I believe that it is better to enjoy the good time while it is taking place with the knowledge that it will end and then when it ends choose something else to look forward to. Well, it is something that I can continue to think about. Good times are a good thing, and I don't think I should be dissappointed that some of them have ended. I still have many more to look forward to. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.

Just wondering, have you heard the Crystal Lewis song, "Seasons Change?"
It is depressing sometimes when things have to end. Try reading Ecclesiastes for some further insight into stuff like this. It's a depressing book, but the point was that it was written by the guy who had it all, Solomon. Even he realized the futility of man's exploits on earth and he saw that even the best of the things of this world will come to an end. That's kind of sad, but we just have to remember to keep our eyes on the prize; heaven will be great, and not nearly so transient as the things of this world.
neofacist?
Thanks for the constant comments on my posts. I'll take your advice on this one and read the book of Ecclesiastes as soon as I can. I will also try to look into the song you mentioned. Thanks again for placing comments on my posts!
