| Fatigue + Highly Energetic Dog = Not much else done!! |
We can plan, but life always has its surprises. So...my noggin wasn't putting too many thoughts together the last few weeks. The third chapter of Ecclesiastes (vs 1-8) was brought to mind:
There is a time for everything,
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 from embracing,
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.
The last month was a time to heal, and a time to bond with (and keep an eye on) our new dog. Some things got pushed to the back burner (like this blog), but that is okay...there is a time for everything.
a time to spend and a time to save,
a time to sleep and a time to be awake,
a time to work and a time to play,
a time to wear pajamas and a time to dress up,
a time to be a child and a time to be an adult,
a time for the ordinary and a time for the extraordinary,
a time to forgive and a time to be forgiven,
a time to learn and a time to teach,
a time to hug and a time to be hugged,
a time for children and a time for grandchildren,
a time for this and a time for that.....
Life is not an emergency. May we be grateful for each "a time", knowing God is writing the perfect story.
It is all in His time.
I am learning to follow His timing.
