For Everything There Is A Season
October 19, 2022
The seasons come and the seasons go.
Everything happens at the time
God has appointed.
All created things have a certain time
to begin and to end.
The wise grasp the rhythms of life
and live in agreement with them.
So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
"Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever You had formed the earth...
from everlasting to everlasting
You are God."
Paul Emmel
