Embrace It...

There is a riddle that goes like this…

What is more precious than gold but cannot be bought, earned, or saved?

The answer is time.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says,
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 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.


There is wisdom in understanding time. There is wisdom in understanding the season of life you are in. I hope and pray that this popular passage of scripture brings us to a place of reflection. Whatever it is you may be facing stop, look, and reflect. May time be your friend and not your enemy.  May we capture the moments of each day and seize it.
