turn, turn, turn...

Ecclesiastes
Music-Pete Seeger

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven

A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late.

i have lost two friendsin the past 3 weeks.i am mourning what once was.

i have allowed obstaclesto come between God and me.it is time to move them out of our way!

i keep "my garden" small.i love and protect all that is in it.i have allowed a few weedsover the years thinking,they need a place too.

that was foolishness!

weeds are weeds;they are destructive.they will destroy a garden(no matter how big or small it is).

i hate weeds!

i have prayed about and fought battles.at times i waged war with windmills;at times i waged war with giants.

war is tiring.right now, i am resting.

i have learned to embrace onlythat which is good.i have learned not to embraceonly for the act of looking good.

looks can be deceiving!
