This to shall pass

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

¹ There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

²     a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

 

I think of this passage and know that soon God will bring Steven around and we will be going down the hall fine to class.  He hasn't walked to class since the day I played 16 Monkeys for him.  I tried playing it again, but it hasn't worked again.  Which I knew would probably be the case.  He has been exhausting his daddy and I.  Last night, he decided to start screaming and throwing for no apparent reason.  He wasn't mad, he just felt like it.  All Bryan and I could do was look at each other and shake our heads.  Of course this morning, I noticed the full harvest moon.  As beautiful as it was, I knew it was part of our problem.  I know that I could have it worse than I do and I thank God for that fact.  I also pray for those who deal with these same problems, worse and not as bad as us.  To each of us we have our own battles.  God will bring us through and remember there is a time for everything under Heaven.

 

God Bless,
