Good Morning Everyone
Today is Monday May 7, 2012
The word of the day comes from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,
"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 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."
My interpretation
There is a time for everything! At any given time anything can happen. Sometimes things happen in our lives that we wish would not have happened whether it be that we lost a job, lost a loved one, loss of a friendship, had a car accident, or even just an argument with someone. Of course while we are going through these things we think, “This is the worst thing ever, and I’m not sure if I will ever make it out of this”. But what we have to realize is that everything that we go through in our lives all the hardships, happy times, and the experiences that we endure make us stronger and wiser. The argument that we had with our friend opens our eyes up to different areas about your relationship, the car accident that you got into makes you a more cautious driver, the loss of your loved one gives you a greater appreciation for their lives and the impact they had on you and hopefully will even strengthen you relationship with God. God allows us to go through things to make us stronger in our lives physically and spiritually. He has a master plan for all of our lives and even though at times we may not like it, we must understand it is necessary. There is a time and place for everything we cannot control it or prevent it, all we can do is endure and pray. God can bring us through ANYTHING we just have to have faith!
Have a wonderful, blessed, productive, stress free day!
