Dear God

Dear God,
    Well Lord, you know as well as I do that I am not in the place where I should be.  I know this each and every day, and yet I find it hard to get to that place.  What I am amazed by each and every day is that you still take into consideration all of my requests, even when I am not good about fulfilling your requests of me.  Even though I don't follow all of your rules like I should, you continue to provide for me. Last night I was reminded that changes in the seasons of our life are not meant to be a punishment for what we've done right or wrong.  You are a loving Lord.  I pray I continue to grow as a person, and as your servant, in every season of my life.
 Ecclesiastes 3

1There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under heaven:

2a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

4a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

Love,

Theresa
