Tonight's post has no humor, no meaningful undertones, or deeper meanings. The message is: There is a time for everything.
I was flipping through my Bible tonight with the intention of praying for my mom, feeling a little disorganized and unsettled in my thoughts. And then I settled on Ecclesiastes 3.
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born an 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."
I needed a straightforward message tonight, nothing I had to read into, something that gave me hope. We don't have to read the passages with history or analogies. Sometimes, the exact words we need to hear are from the text written right in front of us.
