To Everything There Is A Season


To Everything There Is a Season

To everything there is a season,a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
Daniel 2:21-22 KJV

Do Not Fear...

Sometimes, life just doesn't seem fair, in so many ways, and bad things happen to good people.

In times of trouble, and uncertainty, the promise found in this scripture offers comfort, and causes us to realize that we are never truly alone.

Please Pray For Leah


Remember Leah?

She's the lovely young Israeli student whose blog I asked you to read.

Well, if you believe in the power of prayer, please pray for Leah.

She suffered a stroke during open heart surgery this past Wednesday. She is now breathing on her own, but she is still in a coma.

I know that her family would appreciate your prayers, and words of encouragement.

We pray that all will go well for Leah.
