seed of his word

lines from scripture which have stayed with me for a long time. they have been the stuff of my growing years...when simple ideals are tested by fire, a few becoming gold while others are charred away...exercising patience when plans do not go my way...letting go when it is easier to cling on...build a new window with God, when shards are all that remains...

Ecclesiastes




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 throw 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 throw 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.



Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
