"There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven--" Ecclesiastes 3
"A time to give birth and a time to die...
9/1 -- We are traveling home after saying "Goodbye" to Sam, my only sibling.
This day marks the 18th anniversary of Daddy's death.
9/7 -- Sam would have celebrated his 69th birthday.
9/13 - Reports are that 2-month-old Elijah Hugh has doubled his birth weight.
9/16 -- Mother would have been 98 this day; she would not have wanted to live this long.
9/18 -- Mother died 19 years ago this day. I still miss her.
"A time to kill and a time to heal...
We are having an exceptionally warm Fall. We do not necessarily see every spider, but they have left their webs everywhere...in trees, on the grass, in every corner of the house, light fixtures, between cars parked beside each other for more than 10 minutes. We find ourselves at least tearing down cobwebs.
Mosquitoes are still hatching (and biting). Benedril helps the healing process some.
"A time to keep and a time to throw away...
The letter Sam wrote me for my 60th birthday has suddenly become more precious to me.
When I came across my stash of 2004 Christmas cards, I closed my eyes and tossed them; something I hate to do.
"A time to weep and a time to laugh...
When my wonderful friend and prayer partner called last night, the tears came...just thinking about her ordeal with cancer and treatment.
When she shared with me that her hair is starting to come back in. I thought it would be curly; she thought it would be blond. We were both wrong, and laughed together...she is Asian.
"A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted....
Harvest time is really crazy this year. Neighbors are still picking corn and cucumbers and squash and tomatoes. The squirrels have been very busy burying walnuts gathered from our neighbor's tree and hiding them in little holes they have dug all over our yard.
The grapes need a frost before being ready to harvest. Now to get that bit of information to the birds.
