For Everything there is a Time

I am fairly certain this is the first time ever in my 9 years of daily blogging that I have posted something from the Bible in my blog. I hope this doesn’t offend anyone but when I thought of a title for today’s blog it popped into my mind.

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

²    a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
³    a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
⁴    a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
⁵    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
⁶    a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
⁷    a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
⁸    a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

I absolutely love this passage from the Bible and I’m not trying to take anything away from it by using it this blog. The reason I wanted to share this is to make sure I’m not missing the line that talks about shoveling. For the season we are currently in has been all about shoveling. About 6 inches of snow fell last Friday and another 6-8 inches is on the way between tonight and tomorrow. For we are definitely experiencing the time to shovel this winter season.
