*for a time*
there is a time for everything,
a season for every activity under heaven.
a time to be born and a time to die.
a time to plant and a time to harvest.
a time to kill and a time to heal.
a time to tear down and a time to rebuild.
a time to cry and a time to laugh.
a time to grieve and a time to dance.
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
a time to embrace and a time to turn away.
a time to search and a time to lose.
a time to keep and a time to throw away.
a time to tear and a time to mend.
a time to be quiet and a time to speak up.
a time to love and a time to hate.
a time for war and a time for peace.

amen
