There Is A Season For Everything

Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything

 1 There is a time for everything,
   and a season for every activity under the heavens:
 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 from embracing,
 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.



Right now we are experiencing verse 7!
As many of you close to us know we have been walking through some very challenging times watching our children walk through trauma.  We are home in Canada, receiving the love and care that we need.  There are a lot of unknowns in our life right now.  But what we know is that we work for an organization that loves and cares for their people.  We feel very taken care of.  We have already seen how the Lord´s hand is putting just the right people in place to care for each of  us and the healing process.

We feel great calmness and peace and know that we can trust God with our lives even when it may seem that we do not know the ships course.  We know that he has plans that we can trust that are not to destroy us but to build us into an even stronger family.
