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

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,

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

It’s also hard to believe that it was 2 months ago today that Irene was released from UCSF.  Time certainly does march on.  This is also the first day that Irene spent entirely by herself.  It was somewhat awkward to leave her at 4.30 a.m. knowing that I was returning this evening after a series of meetings in Sacramento, but both of us had peace about it.  She did well.  Irene moved slowly through the day and accomplished many household “to do’s”.

Ecclesiastes is clear from the passage above; there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the sun.  Related to Irene’s healing and restoration, we wait for God’s perfect timing during this season, knowing that He is never in a hurry but is always on time.
