Wisdom Wednesday

[Ecc 3:1-8 KJV] 1 To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is a section of scripture that is familiar to many people, even if they don't attend church.  It is often used as a reading at funerals.  Sometimes life is blessed and full but sometimes it feels cursed and empty.  But God desires that we experience the life He has bestowed; both the good and the bad because thru these experiences we learn the lessons He intends.  Only then will we have an abundant life.
