Ecclesiastes 3 ~ a time to Love

Ecclesiastes 3

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

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

9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. 

Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.

14 I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him. 15 That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away




Proverbs 12

25 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down,
but a good word makes him glad.
26 One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27 Whoever is slothful will not roast his game,
but the diligent man will get precious wealth.
28 In the path of righteousness is life,
and in its pathway there is no death.




Eternal life begins from the minute we Believe Jesus is Lord. My mother is unable to eat and drink and maintain her oxygen during Pneumonia. Her time is probably limited on this earth. And I felt so badly for her my prayers felt flat.

The Hospital put out a brochure in 2016 from 1993. Written by Susan Saint Sing - Varsity Rowing Coach at Penn State University.

Susan Saint Sing was a young college woman and one day asked God if she mattered and if He was good and expected in her innocent prayer, that God would answer, many years ago. And He did. Light filled her bedroom in the middle of the night and she Knew HIS Holiness and Goodness. Meeting the Living God changed her life.

And in a few years, her father died and she was in debilitating pain. She received excellent advice. To use her God given memory and draw upon her own faith. And in remembering that Moment, that Time, that Love Father God shared with her, she began to recover from the loss of her father and her own physical pain and grief.

Susan Saint Sing found she could pray better too. Without guilt. God is God.

1. She remembers her best time with Father God and is there again.
2. Remember a time of healing. Open your soul, body, heart mind to Father God.
3. Be in confidence and Gratitude.

4. To remember God's Will is Good. When we pray for others - the results are up to Father God. Healing is not always physical - but can be spiritual or both.

5. We can trust lifting our Heart to God. We can believe Him all things will interweave for Good for Those Who Love the Lord God.

6. We can rest in Father God and renew. Jesus and the Word of God the Father, Abba, uphold the world and life.



When we worry, and when you tug on the Hospital chapel door which doesn't open, all things look dire. But as the day had unfolded, to be told the door sticks really badly until someone pulls the door really hard that day. Our Good Father tenderly cares for His Beloved. The Apple of His eye. Here, when we put our concerns, worries, plain fear in His Hands, Abba our Father is going to use His Light to overcome all darkness. 1 John 3 assures us God's Heart is far above ours and capable to handle our worries and anxieties. We can put our Trust in God. Always.


Father God,

I am lifting up my mom to you. I would so like her back as she was in my youth. I give Great Thanks for the years my mom modeled to me - kindness, encouragement, caring of others, skills to learn art, see art, do art. Making a meal, a home, a season, a day - better in Jesus Christ. Bring her fully back Father God and don't let her suffer. We would love a miracle or a time to be healed in Heaven.

I am praying for the woman I saw in the hospital today, calling the relatives, like herself to come from far away to care for their family member. She was so very sad and alone as this elderly man asked to go Home to Jesus. I pray for him to have an easy passage and for her to have the joy of knowing she was brave to be there all alone for him.

I am so grateful I had friends, Jack, Cheryl, Edward, Alexander, Cal, Mary Jane, Judy, Dee, cousins, Facebook friends and Steven to pray for me. I honestly felt quite spineless and wanted to go home and just hide. I have had encouragement, advise, prayer and bravery pumped into me. I needed them. And they were there. I've done better to support the decisions of today - for their support. I give thanks for the nurses continual care. I give thanks to listening skill of all the Hospital. I am grateful for Jesus putting out answered prayer brochures in the Hospital from 1993.

In Jesus Christ we Live.

Proverbs 12
28 In the path of righteousness is life,
and in its pathway there is no death.

In Jesus, we see with joy He brings people to live their heart. To continue to go forth in Jesus. Amen.
