For everything there is a season!


Last night I was able to catch a live feed from a dear friend's Mothers funeral. Strange not actually being there but being able to join in via computer, across the ocean. It was a very beautiful service.
Marcus your on my mind!!!

This reading touched me.

A Reading from the Book of Ecclesiastes
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 throw 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 throw 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.

What gain have the workers from their toil? I have seen the business that God has given to everyone to be busy with. He has made everything suitable for its time; moreover he has put a sense of past and future into their minds, yet they cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Ecclesiates 3:1-11

Trying to remember where that picture is from? We had dinner last night and it was good to catch up with them. Miss them and you!
