Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

What were you feeling when you posted this? I have always appreciated this text, and it was a good reminder to me to see it yet again, because our world is full of contrasting opposites that never seem to make sense, but in the end, there is a time and place for them all--a good healthy balance exists somewhere amongst the chaos of our lives, and our global lives as well.
This is so good in so many ways... I'll tell you more about it later - there isn't enough room here ;)
Remind me!
