Just a few words from scripture
PSALM 104 ;15-18
As for man, his day s are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children's children-
with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
