There is a time for everything,
and a season for everything under heaven:
[...]
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
[...]
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
[...]
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate…
- Selected parts of Ecclesiates 3:1-8

Remember Your Creator While Young
 7 Light is sweet,
  and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.

 8 However many years a man may live,
  let him enjoy them all.
  But let him remember the days of darkness,
  for they will be many.
  Everything to come is meaningless.

9 Be happy, young man, while you are young,
  and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
  Follow the ways of your heart
  and whatever your eyes see,
  but know that for all these things
  God will bring you to judgment.

10 So then, banish anxiety from your heart
  and cast off the troubles of your body,
  for youth and vigor are meaningless.

1 Remember your Creator
  in the days of your youth,
  before the days of trouble come
  and the years approach when you will say,
  “I find no pleasure in them”-

2 before the sun and the light
  and the moon and the stars grow dark,
  and the clouds return after the rain;

3 when the keepers of the house tremble,
  and the strong men stoop,
  when the grinders cease because they are few,
  and those looking through the windows grow dim;

4 when the doors to the street are closed
  and the sound of grinding fades;
  when men rise up at the sound of birds,
  but all their songs grow faint;

5 when men are afraid of heights
  and of dangers in the streets;
  when the almond tree blossoms
  and the grasshopper drags himself along
  and desire no longer is stirred.
  Then man goes to his eternal home
  and mourners go about the streets.

6 Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
  or the golden bowl is broken;
  before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
  or the wheel broken at the well,

7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
  and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

8 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.
  “Everything is meaningless!”
- Ecclesiastes 11:7-12:8

I feel His hand grasp mine and I hear Him say, “Talitha koum”. To which I reply, “Not my will but yours be done”. Truly, Lord, yours and only your will.
