Time

Passage Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything

1 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. 2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. 3 A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4 A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. 5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. 6 A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7 A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. 8 A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.




The Bible says for everything there is a 'time'. I have just been amazed lately in how fast time can change. One minute I'm cheering at a baseball game-----the next trying to be strong for my mom who is telling me she has cancer. One minute I'm sitting at my computer-----the next going to the hospital for a friend that is having emergency surgery. One minute I'm getting students ready to leave lunch-----the next we are sitting in the hallways in our tornado position. There has been so much lately to make me stop and say "WOW".

I have also stopped and asked myself lately"What have I done with my time?" It is a big question to answer. Some I like and some I don't. There is a time for eveything----What am I doing with mine????
