For Everything There is a Season
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
