My Thoughts: when the mood strikes.

Saturday, June 13, 2009

         ...one more day.  Tomorrow I'll move from 50 to 51.  This year was exciting, fun, sad, terrific, scary at times, deliciously revealing.  I was talking to a lady I work with yesterday.  She was sharing how the fifties are so liberating --- you say what you mean, mean what you say, and sometimes even know when to keep your big mouth shut.  (I have a hard time with that last one.)    (Proverbs 15:23; Proverbs 25:11)  =)

         ...and one of my favorite passages -- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

             To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
             A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what which is planted;
             A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
             A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
             A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
             A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
             A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
             A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

         May this year be a year of new revelations.  God-speed.

         Here's to a great Saturday!  Fare thee well.
