A Time for Everything

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.  A time to be born and a time to die.  A time to plant and a time to harvest.  A time to cry and a time to laugh.  A time to grieve and a time to dance.”  Ecclesiastes 3:1-4  (NLT)

In Ecclesiastes, Solomon reminds us there is a time for everything.  When I live by faith, I am acknowledging and accepting His perfect timing for my life.  That’s a hard one to swallow.  Pause and let that realization resonate in your thoughts.

Not MY timing, but HIS!

A year ago, one of my sorority sisters lost her husband in a tragic accident.  I continue to keep Lisa and her family in my prayers.  I don’t think it’s by accident that I happened to read Tony Dungy’s book, Uncommon Life, this morning.  Today’s devotional reading is about the loss of a loved one.  Read the following excerpt from Dungy’s book and touch base with someone special in your life today.

“Uncommon Key:  Relationships matter more than anything else, but you never know how long you will have with the people around you.  Don’t take them for granted.  Make a phone call, send a card, or schedule a lunch date on your calendar today.”

Don’t take the important relationships in your life for granted!
