Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
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 refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes has always been my favourite book in the bible. It is because I love wisdom and this book written by Solomon himself who was granted wisdom by God. Indeed, there is a time for everything. The time came when I met with my old friends and we rejoiced. It one of the best blessings from god.
It was a series of fortunate events as I met up with friends of old and new more frequently than I have ever dream of. Very, very Old friends shared a lot with me as they have not seen me for a very long time. We talked and talked about our exploits over the past two years may it be army or studies or whatever under the sun. To have someone to listen to your complaints, your glorious adventures was indeed something welcoming and warm to the heart. I found that such times were very rare indeed.
It was difficult to express the feelings of sadness of the soul as the meeting drew to a resounding end. It was inevitable that the time to part had arrived for it was neither destiny nor fate but nature’s path that everything that has a beginning will have an end.
