my take on Ecclesiastes 3:2-8

a time to be born and a time to die, both are in the hands of God

a time to plant and a time to uproot, some things have their season and then lose their productivity, so it is wise to know when to uproot and when to plant for harvest again

a time to kill and a time to heal

a time to build, a time to restart and at time to keep going, keep pressing in

a time to weep and a time to laugh, life will bring both

a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to have pain and sorrow and a time to work through that to find joy and peace, surrender and new hope

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time when things have their usefullness and a time when they can be put aside

a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to be free to express emotion and a time to be restrained

a time to search and a time to give up, a time to press in and a time to stop looking and rest in the security that God has my life in His hands

a time to tear and a time to mend, a time for complete change and a time to restore

a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to stand up for ourselves and what we believe and at time to let God make the way

a time to love, a time to hate

a time for war, a time for peace
