Thankful for: Time! (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

There is usually many items on our agendas everyday. Mine seems to constantly be filled up with the activities of my ministry, the activities of our family, and the personal activities that I choose to do. Tonight, as I just sat down to begin typing away on the computer, Rachel reminded me that we had not carved our pumpkins for Halloween. Somewhat grudgingly, I put down the computer, and headed to the kitchen to prepare the table for the annual carving--but this year was different. This would be Tucker's first time to carve pumpkins--or rather play with the seeds. As we did our thing and carved our jack-o-lantern, I thought about how thankful I am that God gives us truly a "time for everything". There is a time for it all--if we choose to arrange our schedules and make the time. So, as Rachel sat Tucker by the our glowing pumpkin on the front porch for a picture, I thanked God that He gives us "Time"--and a time for everything!
