A Season and a Purpose

As we celebrate Luke being 7 weeks old today, I am also reminded of this day one year ago. If I had only known the beautiful miracle He had waiting for me right around the corner; it reminds of Ecclesiastes and that everything has a season and purpose.

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 sow;
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.

Before he was in our hands, he was in Lord's hands.

I am thankful that he always will be.

Dear God, thank you for our precious baby boy that you created in Your time...
the perfect time.
