You all have probably read or heard in the book of Ecclesiastes “To everything there is a season” (Ecclesiastes chapter 3). I found this modern day version of the same message, and thought in the next few weeks, I would share several of these. Here is this week’s selections:
To everything there is a time…
A time to wind up, and a time to wind down;
A time to make the call, and a time to unplug the phone;
A time to set the alarm, and a time to sleep in;
A time to get going, and a time to let go.
Hope you all will enjoy these, and actually get the message from each one.
