“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (ESV)

We live in a constantly changing world; architected by God to fill our days with wonder, and to temper our spirits as we journey to His side.  We need to embrace all our seasons of life, and give thanks that God has woven us such a diverse and detailed fabric.

    There is a time for everything, and God is with us through them all. If we believe that God is always in control and has given us our days as blessings, then we can praise Him in every circumstance.

    Phil,

    That is one of my favorite scriptures, I love its message, that the seasons will change but God will be with through us through them all. He knows what He doing and He has a purpose for everything. Blessings to you Phil.
