God makes all things beautiful, in His time.

Today we had a reflection on God's perfect timing in our lives.

ECCLESIASTES 3:

1  To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2  A time to be born (Phebe), and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted (HL weeding in her garden then developed a rash);

3  A time to kill (thou shalt not kill), and a time to heal (our friend is clear of diabetes); a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4  A time to weep (MOH's tearful speech at Selina's wedding), and a  time to laugh (us three); a time to mourn, and a time to dance (Julia, Rowena and Selina at Selina's bridal shower);

5  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace (Lian and Julia welcomed me back with hugs), and a time to refrain from embracing (Lian jumped when Eric asked for a hug);

6  A time to get, and a time to lose (HL lost $63, I lost $50); a time to keep (our mobile charms), and a time to cast away;

7  A time to rend, and a time to sew (my workpants sewn by Julia); a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8  A time to love (AH's relationship blossomed), and a time to hate; a time of war (Iraq), and a time of peace (with God).


Funny but fond memories reminding us that God's timing is perfect in every way.
