A Time for Everything

We all know that Solomon was a wise king.

What I did not realise was that he was also a wonderful poet.

These verses want me to go back to the bible and check out what other things King Solomon wrote.  

    Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

    1 There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven:

    2 A time for giving birth, a time for dying; a time for planting, a time for uprooting what has been planted.

    3 A time for killing, a time for healing; a time for knocking down, a time for building.

    4 A time for tears, a time for laughter; a time for mourning, a time for dancing.

    5 A time for throwing stones away, a time for gathering them; a time for embracing, a time to refrain from embracing.

    6 A time for searching, a time for losing; a time for keeping, a time for discarding.

    7 A time for tearing, a time for sewing; a time for keeping silent, a time for speaking.

    8 A time for loving, a time for hating; a time for war, a time for peace.

Everything that happens in this world, happens in God's time.

Even these little flowers on the road know that there is time for everything.

It is still early when I walk to mass.  

The sun is not quite as bright and the weather is still cool.  

The flowers hide inside their petals.

By the time I head back home, 

the sun is shining and it is much warmer.  

This is what the flowers look like.
