In His Time!

Mornin!
Another beautiful day here in Edinburgh. We had a lovely day yesterday.
I had one of those wow moments. I was coming out of my school class and had just told the ladies there that we are leaving so they will have to find someone else. One of the ladies talked about the part of the Bible that talks about times and seasons.3:1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

2 a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
The God-Given Task

9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
When I then went to the ladies meeting, Jenny from the Faith Mission read and spoke from that exact passage.
V11 says He has made everything beautiful in His time. Our lives can look mixed up and we can wish things were different but He is making our lives beautiful for Him. If we allow Him to.
Jonathan and the girls went to the beach and had a great time. I met up with my friend Ailsa. I would love her to become His. We can't push these things for in His time He makes all things beautiful. May you have a beautiful day!!!
We're off to the park! With love E. xx
