A Time for Everything

"There is a time for everthing, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent 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

What season are you in? What activities are you engaged in? Perhaps these are questions that we need to answer as one chapter ends and a new one begins. Where am I? Where does my work lie? Perhaps we are grieving the loss of a season that we have enjoyed and are timidly embracing a new season?

What are my expectations for this season? What new activities will appear like a blossom in the shade, perhaps miraculous in revealing and knowing the true creator, the true parent of our souls. I begin to watch and wonder for all to unfold, like a little girl twirling in the sun. I worship you, my father, my son!
