To Everything There is a Season

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.
 What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Blessings by Laura Story

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if the thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pGmKC34UZ68
