Wednesday...a time to sleep

Lord-

Today...the word is tired. Weariness is probably better because I just am dragging some this week. I balanced my checkbook and couldn't remember doing it. (I really should go back over that again when I'm more awake.

Last night meeting with my small group of girls we were reading out of Ecclesiastes chapter 3...aka the "time" chapter.

Ecclesiastes 3: A Time for Everything

¹For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

²a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
³a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
⁴a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
⁵a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
⁶a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
⁷a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
⁸a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.

We laughed last night as we read the different "times" and applied them to our lives. We thanked You Lord for our sense of humor. We also decided that there are some many different "times" here that we can actively relate to. Also we decided that we are going to update our Facebook status from now on with "times" from this passage. :-)

Thank you Lord for your gift of laughter and time. May I use my time today for more than just accomplishing earthly tasks.

Thank you, Lord for your sacrifice. I pray that I never forget it or diminish it's effect on me.

In your name,

Amen
