Seasons

The warm haze is hanging in my area right now. The sun is leaving it's light blanket on us.. and the breeze is just right. tis a beautiful day. Unfortunately this also means that the stink bugs are out and are all over my house.

Although i like certain seasons much more than others, there are things that i enjoy in each as well as somethings i don't enjoy.

A famous writing comes to mind... not about the seasons of a year, but of life.

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.

we don't like many of these seasons or times in our lives.. some are difficult... But they are a part of life. Some of them you will experience more than once and begin to grow comfortable with it, some you cannot. You can't know what it is like to grow older.. because it's something that happens continually, but differently with every moment.

But you can't let these hold you back. Again, they're apart of our lives... i think once we really grasp that we learn that we don't have much to fear. it's a cycle that has been repeated millions of times.

Every time our sun has set- it has also risen to a new beginning.

also, Ecclesiastes is a cool book- you should read it sometime
