to everything...
I had several emails over the weekend...expressing both joy over Trevy's triumphs...and prayers for our current sadness.
Thank you...
I know it was a little awkward. Weird even. To have a post SO hopeful...followed by one so vague-ly gut wrenching.
I was actually in the middle of writing the Hopeful post...when I took the Gut Wrenching call. I thought it fitting to post them together. Because that was how our life played out this week.
I love the way King Solomon sums up our life here...
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
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,
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.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
And sometimes it's all blended together...
