Wonder if I will ever get the timing down pat?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-9
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, an time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time 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 seek, 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 for war, and a time for peace.

Sometimes we don't set the timing - it happens and we go to this scripture which is really kind of peaceful to cope with it!
Isn't that the truth Gardenia!! Although, sometimes I wonder how I missed some of lifes lessons. My T suggests it is because my not being able to go to High School and being so isolated by my folks to insure my silence has some to do with it. I guess I did not get the opportunity to learn social skills. Aside from the obvious which is important in an education, I believe social skills is very important for students. Without school, that was rather hard to hone.
I keep working at it though.. But instead of trying so hard I think I will embrace your theory. :-)
