A Time for Everything


i was just reading Ecclesiastes this morning. Chapter 3 - A Time for Everything. One of my favourite passages.

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

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,
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.

But what happens when you've missed it?

i relli like this chapter too! i believe that the moments that we think we lost should be left behind because time is selfish and waits for no one. But as we move forward, we must seize the opportunities that God gives us. Maybe there is something to learn, maybe sometimes we have to wait on God.

“all things work together for good to those who love God” (Rom 8:28).

If we love Him,
we will trust Him,
we will sacrifice time to pray,
we will persevere,
and we will believe in His will for us.

"He hath made everything beautiful in it's time."

Ecclesiastes 3: 11

Take a deep deep breathe, look back and smile, and head forward. Your next chance might just already be waiting =)=)

In the meanwhile, do get loads of rest Melly.

Much care,
