A Season for Everything

I feel like the last 3 weeks have been a year! So many things have happened and I have talked to so few you you,my friends:

Vacation has ended and school has begun;

Homes have been lost,homes have been gained;

Some have moved and some have stayed;

Babies have been born and babies have died;

New jobs have been found and old jobs have been lost;

Loved ones have fallen ill and loved ones have recovered;

Marriages have been made and marriages have been broken;

Valuables have been lost and valuables have been found;

Friends have rejoiced at meeting and friends have cried at leaving;

Children have returned home and children have left home;

And as for me and mine

We have said goodbye and we have said hello

To our new life.

These last few weeks Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 has been streaming through my mind:

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

²A time to be born,and a time to die;a time to plant,and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

³A time to kill,and a time to heal;a time to break down,and a time to build up;

⁴A time to weep,and a time to laugh;a time to mourn,and a time to dance;

⁵A time to cast away stones,and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace,and a time to refrain from embracing;

⁶A time to get,and a time to lose;a time to keep,and a time to cast away;

⁷A time to rend,and a time to sew;a time to keep silence,and a time to speak;

⁸A time to love,and a time to hate;a time of war,and a time of peace.

I have missed being a part of all your lives this last three weeks and hope to be settled and in communication again soon.
