Today my mother Olga, moved from Moorhead after 63 years a resident. She leaves a legacy of friendship and faith that she has shared with her family and friends. Her spirits are high as she enters a new season of her life at 96. She is remarkable. Her zest for life and a new adventure at her age is wonderful. Mom will live a few minutes from our home and will be able to enjoy our family events up close and personal. We have our granddaughter's third birthday tomorrow and two grand babies arriving in the next few weeks. Mom's world has broadened into a new journey in her later years. We are blessed to have this time in our lives to enjoy our future life events together. God has worked a special time out for us in these days.
Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us,
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 throw 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 throw 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.
Now is a time for enjoying the time we have been given to celebrate life and family.
Thanks be to God....
