Country Church Music - From the Heart

Greetings dear friends and family,

Time. So often we don’t seem to have enough time to get things done. And yet there are times when it seems to take forever until the time we are waiting for arrives. We often grow impatient. We are reminded in the following verses from Ecclesiastes 3 that it is not about our timing, but God’s.

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.

Let us pray: Loving God, it is hard at times to understand how and why things happen as they do. Help us to understand that no matter what time it is in our lives that you walk with us every step of the way. In your everlasting name we pray. Amen.

With love from the heart,

Diane
