Happy New Year!



As I reflect on the meaning of the old and the new year, I can't help think of what Solomon, the wisest man on earth wrote many, many years ago.  He advises us to trust God and enjoy what we do have rather than complain about what we do not have.  Life is short and life is difficult, so make the most of it while you can.  He also tells us to remember that there is a time for everything.
A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,  a time to plant and a time to uproot, 
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 scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,  a time to keep and a time to throw away, 
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, a time for war and a time for peace. 
What do workers gain from their toil?  I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made
everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).
Happy New Year!
