Our Scripture for today is Ecclesiastes 3:1-2.
“To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot.”
Those of you who read the Bible probably recognize these as the opening words of a longer scripture. They beautifully point out that there is a time for everything.
I remember when I was in my early 20s, I thought, “I don’t know anyone who has died.” Years later, a teenager told me the same thing. Innocence can be so sweet. “Just wait,” I thought. You will.” We all do.
Now, I know more folks on the other side of the river of life than I do on this side.
For everything, there is a time. For everything, there is a season.
Learn to enjoy the season you are in. It is all you have. If you can’t enjoy the season you are in, then life will be hard.
