Ecclesiastes 3 : 1-11

   
1 To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born,
and a time to die;
a time to plant,
and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill,
and a time to heal;
a time to break down,
and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep,
and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn,
and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones,
and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace,
and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get,
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 keep silence,
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 profit hath he that worketh
in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail,
which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time:
also he hath set the world in their heart,
so that no man can find out the work that
God maketh from the beginning to the end..



Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven,,

Grant us your Spirit so that here on earth we may be
united with you in Jesus Christ the Savior.
May truth dawn on us with its light, bringing joy no matter
what happens to us.
May all the pain in our lives be turned into birth pangs
of a new life in which we can rejoice as people you have created,
people prepared for the struggle on earth,
who are called into battle and led to victory.
Grant that we may not be blinded by the surrounding darkness.
Shed a clear light on the new life that is coming.
May we see what has already happened because Jesus Christ
came to the earth and remains on earth,
and may we see what is still to come through him,
the Savior.
O God of wonders,
keep us aware of the wonders that increasingly surround us,
until all the pain on earth is finally overcome and we men glorify
your love and your great goodness.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
