To everything there is a season,
A time to live, and a time to die;
A time to laugh and a time to cry.
For every man, there is an appropriate time
for all things;
A time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
God has made all things appropriate
to its time;
Some men live without discovering
The wonders that God has done
for them.
Let us recognize that whatever God does
will endure forever;
That now what is, has already been,
What will happen, is already happening;
And God restores what would
Otherwise be displaced.
This then, is the time to care;
Standing tall and ready to share,
It is the time to seek a place of peace;
Blessed are they who understand God’s times.
(Inspired by Eccl. 3:1-8)
