3 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

2  a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what 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 seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7  a time to tear, 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 for war, and a time for peace.

A Time for everything….

Time is a precious gift.

In this season of my life I find myself reflecting on time. Time when I first remembered my childhood in reality, you know, before you knew you even existed. Those were carefree days of playing in the sun and chasing puppies. Time when life was difficult because circumstances beyond your control as a child just happened because of no fault of your own. Time that soothed a heart full of anxiety and fear, time when young love was in bloom and your heart would soar from all the emotions. Time that brought courtship and marriage and the birth of children. Time when you heart would ache for the pains of others choices and the joys that come with each new addition to the family. Time when aging, experiencing the loss of loved ones and the grief that comes so hard. Time of illness and realization that God the Father is not limited in time. Time of reflecting on days that only God has planned for us. Times of hard questions of why?

Time is a gift, only God gives. We must not take for granted the time the Father has given us. One day it seems we have all the time in the world but then something shakes us and make the realization so vivid that we know we have wasted a precious gift we can never get back. Let’s remember that each day is a gift for our Father in Heaven. There is a season for everything, a time for joy and laughter, a time of pain and suffering and a time to live and a time to die! Praise God for the days you have! Bring Glory to Him by using the time He has given you to bless others. Share His love, Love your loved ones and remember Jesus suffered and died on a cruel cross so that we could life for ever with Him in eternity and never be bound by TIME again!
