A time for everything

I'm finished with treatments - chemo and radiation.  I will start a new year with a focus on getting healthy and some form of normal.  2010 was a crazy year.  I have to accept that it was part of God's plan for me to get cancer.  I'm not sure why. I may never know.  But I know He also saw me through it.  When I think of this past year, I think of this passage from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.  It's one of my favorites.

To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;








A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;








 


A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose;





A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
















A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.



My sincere prayer is that 2011 is a wonderful year for every one of you, and that you are generously blessed with health, happiness, love, and peace.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Love, Susan
