To Every Thing There Is A Season

 

To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the 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 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.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

King James Bible
[Fall Tapestry]

The Horse

 

Hast thou given the horse strength?  Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? ... The glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength… He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted…

Job 39:19-22

King James Bible
[Nonesuch at Cedar Point]


We Shall Not All Sleep

Behold, I shew you a mystery:

We shall not all sleep,

But we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

…then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,

Death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is thy sting?

O grave, where is thy victory?

1 Corinthians 15: 51-55

King James Bible

[Serenity in Pastels]

If My People

Rainbow Covenant

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Genesis 9:13-16
King James Bible

Declaration of Independence

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

For Now

For now we see through a glass, darkly;

But then face to face:

Now I know in part;

But then shall I know even as also I am known.

Not Unto Us, O Lord

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,

but unto thy name give glory,

for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

Psalm 115:1

King James Version Bible

[Burgundy Bouquet]



Why Art Thou Cast Down

"Why art thou cast down,

O my soul?

And why art thou disquieted within me?

Hope in God:

For I shall yet praise Him,

Who is the health of my countenance,

And my God."

Psalm 43:5

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,

that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,

will of God."

KJV Bible

For Ye Shall Go Out With Joy

the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing,

 and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."

And after the fire a still small voice."
