To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
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 break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
About Me
- elizabeth
- I’m an ordinary girl who is blessed with an extraordinary life. My relationship with the Lord is really important to me, but that doesn’t mean I’m stuffy or dress like a Quaker. I believe having a vibrant relationship with the Lord is the secret to living a full and worthwhile life. Honestly, my life goal is to know the Lord Jesus Christ. I want Christianity not to be something I attach to my name, but to define who I am. I'm unusually blessed with a wonderful family who loves the Lord and obeys Him. I have heaps of dreams, am terribly optimistic, and love to laugh. I've no idea where I'll be in ten years, but I know I'll be able to echo the disciples, "He does all things well." In the meantime, I find myself completely satisfied with the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. The only thing special about me is the One I belong to.

I love these verses! It's hard to read them without hearing the song by the Birds, though. :)
And I was just thinking last night about prayer, and how Our Savoiur started His prayer with "Our Father". Not "Our God" or "Our Lord", but "Father". That's the relationship He wants to have with us! He wants to be our Father!
And He also used the word "our". His and ours. He didn't think it beneath Him to use that word. It's such an inviting thought!
Meri, I loved your comment!! That's so true, He is ours. What an incredible, exciting, mind-boggling thought!
