A TIME FOR EVERYTHING: A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEKEND
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to be hurt, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3, v. 1-8
Have a good weekend my friends.

I don't believe it's necessary to give the Bible the credit for this passage. If we don't know it's from the Bible, I'd say we are sorely amiss in our world experience!
I'm sorry. I know this isn't my blog, and you can delete this comment if you like. But I'm irritated when a person purports to be revealing biblical truth on something, yet hides their identity. They should stay in their dark world and not wander into the light of others' lives.
Starry,
You too have a great weekend. We all have some crazy ppl' in this world leaving anon comments. As teri said, people who wanna say in dark and shout, just stay alone.
Change your comemnt moderation so that you are authorized to publish only the ones u need.
Cathouse teri..thanks.have a good weekend.
Abhishek..yes theres a time for everything.
Me..I have not claimed this to be mine and I did not know it is from the bible.I have a plaquein my home and these words are on it and I always felt it was so true. a time for everything.
Margie..thanks.you have a good week end also.
Cat house teri..thanks.I did not know it is from the bible but always liked these lines and thought I would share it.
Priya..thanks.This is a blog and I respect people opinions, I just shared something that I liked and I think there is no harm in it.I did not say this is my poem.It is from a plaque.
You may have not known it was from the bible but you did give credit. ME must have missed it. Ecclesiastes is a book from the old testament. That was beautiful, thank you for sharing it.
Starry,
I received a nasty comment 2 days back, since I had comment moderation I felt good.
No problem. Whicever makes you happy good for you.
Starry---I just love that!
and I took time to make it to blogland....my rare visits! Hey, how you doooin?
What happens when we miss that time
nice thought though
I'll add one more-
A time to criticize and a time to correct.
The list was good.
Does the Bible forbid quoting from the scriptures.You have mentioned Ecclesiastes 3, v. 1-8 at the end.Why should that bother anyone.You needn;\'t have bothered to reply to such people.
Hi starry!
I picked up the tag that u had posted- when I saw that u'r post was missing, I traced Chet's post from your comments and got the questions...thanks to you and Chet...
Have a great Weekend

a good list to know there is time for everything only we ought to have patience...
thanks.
A time to laugh,
A time to cry,
A time to live,
A time to die
Hey starry, How you been doing?
Your line "A time for war, and a time for peace." I hope to rewrite it as
"Never a time for war, always a time for peace".
Have a nice weekend.
Chet..thanks.
Priya..thanks. I may want the comment moderation, because you really dont know some people out there who want to be mean.
Blessed..thanks.
Reflextion..thanks. I have not been doing too well. ice to see you around.stop by again. how have u been?
Aditi..I think it says that we have to be patient because there is a time for everything. we may want it now but it may not be the best time.
Preeta..thanks.thats a good one.
ardra..thanks aI will look up the tag.
Velu..thanks. you have a good weekend too.
Passwerby thanks. I think thats what the passage is trying to say that we have to be patient.have a good weekend.
Ganesh..thanks.
Mumbai guy..you are right.if I had written it I would not have said time for war because in my mind no war is justified. I am for peace and have never supported any kind of war.
Quite true. I hope the time for love and peace gets here soon, because this world has sure seen enough hate and war.
very true..that was a good one...have great weekend..ensoii:)
u hv a nice weekend lalitha and take very good care of urself....
Turn...Turn...Turn...starry... ;)
Anali..you are right.I feel the sam way that the whole world is in a chaos.it is really a time for peace and I too hope it comes soon.
Mystery..welcome to my blog and I do hope you come again.thank you.
Kuan..true.everything has a turn.
and some time for starry too :)..how you be? and how do i share a layout with you, its a bit complicated with the code..and you love putting up images so i wonder how we can co-ordinate both :)(sizes of the images can be a problem) so i may have to re do it a bit for you :)
Good one L.
Hope you are having a good weekend. How is your back?
Sure there is...a time for smiling and a time for crying...a time for us and a time for them. beautiful.
Keshi.
Now it should be
a time for peace
a time for love.
A powerful one that has stuck throughout history.
Very nice post! You have a good weekend too!
after the weekend i don't know how to make a comment....
anyway, i'll take it for the next weekend......
it doesn't matter, the message is yours or not....it's about how u spread it.....hope everybody does it.....
maybe.... but now is not the time for such and such thing shouldn't be the excuse for inaction... which in a lot of cases is the case...
indeed- with oru busy schedule we tend to miss out on the beautiful things of life
Lovely post.. but i like the picture better.. its so carefree!
Nice thoughts! Hope u had a great weekend:)
Yogi..I would love that, the pictures may be a problem,but what if I share small images.would you e-mail me what i should send .thanks for even thinking about me.
Emmanuel thanks.welcome to my blog and I do hope you come again.
Ufukhati..so true.I think now is a time for peace.
Ari..thanks .I am not doing too well. still waiting for my surgery, hopefully it should come through soon.
Keshi..thanks.
Don..so true.There is even a song written about it.dont know who sings it.
Sunflower..true.but I think the message is not to get impatient if things dont happen when we want it to.
itchingtowrite..so true.

Those must be the most famous lines from Ecclesiastes and was the basis for a popular song in my young days--'To everything turn, turn, turn, There is a season'.
