A Season of Change

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

¹ There’s a season for everything and a time for every matter under the heavens: ² a time for giving birth and a time for dying, a time for planting and a time for uprooting what was planted, ³ a time for killing and a time for healing, a time for tearing down and a time for building up, ⁴ a time for crying and a time for laughing, a time for mourning and a time for dancing, ⁵ a time for throwing stones and a time for gathering stones, a time for embracing and a time for avoiding embraces, ⁶ a time for searching and a time for losing, a time for keeping and a time for throwing away, ⁷ a time for tearing and a time for repairing, a time for keeping silent and a time for speaking, ⁸ a time for loving and a time for hating, a time for war and a time for peace.
