Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (ESV)

For everything there is a season,
and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what 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 seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;

Use your time wisely. Know when it’s time to cry and when it is time to work. Remember that a season doesn’t last forever…regardless if it’s good or bad. Our lives cycle like the tides. Nothing remains the same. Well, except for God.
In all seasons, be very grateful. ♥️
