The inspired writer of Ecclesiastes records for us that:

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."

These past few weeks have been a season filled with much emotion. The passing of a loved one. A brothers health a risk. The departure of many friends and loved ones. Graduations, celebrations, etc.

So much to do. So many blessings.

Funny how when you look back at all of what is in the moment perceived as "burdens" and realize they are the very moments that make you glad to be alive. Those moments, those memories, are in reality joy.

God bless you Joyce. God bless you David. God bless you Matt, Kathyrne, Jules and Jerry.

For those in Christ, there are never "good-byes" only "see you laters".

In Christ,
