Day 221...(2 Kings 13,14; Ecclesiastes 3)..."Out of No Where Comes Inspiring Words"

In laboring through the first two chapters of Ecclesiastes, how refreshing to come to chapter three with maybe the most eloquent words in the Bible along with 1 Corinthians 13. Here is the passage in the classic King James Version....

" To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what 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;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
A time to tear,
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."
