Stirred By The Scriptures

I had a friend ask me this morning how my holidays were. I found myself hesitating as I sought to answer him. My Christmas and the past several days have been a microcosm of life. The days have been filled with joy and sadness, laughter and tears, highs and lows. As I am writing this blog, I find myself looking at the words of Solomon, as he reflects on life, in the Book of Ecclesiastes:

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to dies, a time to plant and a time to uproot, ...a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, ...”

The key to me is to live in the moment God has given you and believe he will give you the grace you need for whatever season you are in.
