Word Filled Wednesday...seasons...

Ecclesiastes 3

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

 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 from embracing,
 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. 

My version goes something like this:

There is a time to unpack and a time to pack 

(as Abby comes home from camp and leave for college)

A time to rest and a time to go 

(depending on my body, some days I am just still, but when I feel good I go!)

A time to talk and a time to listen 

(with my daughter home for a week, I need to listen and enjoy her experiences from the summer)

A time to laugh and a time to cry 

(a wedding and a graduation in the next year...I'll do both)

There are many seasons in life, its always good to accept your seasons and live in them. 

God gave them all to us!
