A Season for Everything

"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.
What profit has he that works in that wherein he labors?  
I have seen the travail, which God has given to 
the sons of men to be exercised in it.
 
He has made every thing beautiful in his time: 
also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man 
can find out the work that God makes 
from the beginning to the end."
Ecclesiastes 3
