 “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.”

I know that everything happens for a reason too…But today I mourn the loss of = one of my best friends…my biggest supporters…my Mom and I guess = this is the “time” for me to feel exactly what I feel = today…Thank You for the promise I have to see my precious Mother again when my time = comes to leave this world and join You in Heaven. In Jesus name I = pray…AMEN!
