the ponderings of a mother

These are the ponderings of a mother in love with her children, both in my arms and in the grave. Some of these ponderings are quite emotional, some are funny, others contemplative and spiritual. All are sincere. May these writings bless you in many ways and bring you closer to the one, true God and Redeemer of all things.

A Time for Everything

(I have been wanting to write this week, but alas there has just been no time…ironically. So I offer tonight that which I have been meditating on as of late.) 
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up; 
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away; 
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time for war, and a time for peace.
