"Unto every thing, there is a season..."

[Padraig18]

Ecclesiastes
Chapter 3
1
There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.
2
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
3
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build.
4
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
6
A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
7
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
8
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9
What advantage has the worker from his toil?
10
I have considered the task which God has appointed for men to be busied about.
11
He has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the timeless into their hearts, without men's ever discovering, from beginning to end, the work which God has done.
12
I recognized that there is nothing better than to be glad and to do well during life.
13
For every man, moreover, to eat and drink and enjoy the fruit of all his labor is a gift of God....

1. So sorry for your loss....

Please accept my respect and sympathy.

3. That's it.

I just finally lost it. This was the final nick in my steely demeanor. Benjamin is leaving and the thought of Khephra being gone from us and I am down. Paddy, it is perfect and for some reason this one just got to me. :hug:

4. Hi Lynne, my darlin'.

It got to me pretty badly, too, when Tony told me last evening. Remember how much he loved all of us, and try to smile a bit. He would want that, don't you think?

:hug:

5. Oh yes he would.

Too many things with the worst being the loss of Keph. It is OK to cry a while. I think he would be mighty surprised to see how we are all reacting to this. I hope his spirit is aware of the love he is being sent, I kinda think that it is.
