Ecclesiastes 3:1
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
Sometime I'd like to memorize the verses that follow, but not now... :) Actually I really like this verse, besides that I use it as an excuse sometimes. It's a good reminder that things happen in the Lord's time and we should enjoy the seasons of life that we're in. Sometimes I look back at seasons of my life or forward to future seasons and wish I were in a different season, but I am quickly reminded that I'm just where I should be. Dirty diapers, dirty house, little hands coloring on the wall...hugs and kisses, smiles, and laughter. It's all worth it and I'm loving this season of my life.
Okay, so I don't have the dirty house or the dirty diapers and there probably aren't as many hugs and kisses around here- but I'm sure that we can all relate to "looking back" and "looking forward" and "wishing", but we all are exactly where we should be :)
