A Time For Everything Poem

Everything that happens in this world

Happens at the time God chooses

He sets the time for birth and the

Time for death

The time for planting and the time

For pulling up

The time for killing and the time

For healing

The time for tearing down and the

Time for building

He set the time for sorrow and the

Time for joy

The time for mourning and the

Time for dancing

The time for making love and the

Time for not making love

The time for kissing and the time

For not kissing

He sets the time for finding and the

Time for loosing

The time for saving and the time

For throwing away

The time for tearing and the time

For mending

The time for silence and the time

For talk

He sets the time for love and the

Time for hate

The time for war and the time for

Peace...

He has set the right time for everything

Given us the desire to know the future

But

Never gives us the satisfaction of fully

Understanding what he does.

I realized that all we can do is to be happy

And do the best we can while we are still alive…

Whatever happens or can happen

Has already happened before

God makes the same thing happen

Again and again.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15

The Capable Wife Poem

How hard it is to find a capable wife

She is worth far more than jewels

Her husband puts confidence in her

And he will never be poor

As long as she lives

She does him good and never harm

She keeps herself busy

Making wool and linen cloth

She brings home food

From out of the way places

As merchant ships do

She gets up before daylight

To prepare food for her family

And to tell her servant women what to do

She looks at land and buys it

And with money she has earned

She plants a vineyard

She is a hard worker, strong and industrious

She knows the value of everything

She makes and works late into the night

She spins her own thread

And weaves her own cloth

She is generous to the needy

She doesn’t worry when it snows

Because her family has warm clothing

She makes bed spreads

And wears clothes of fine purple linen

Her husband is well known

One of the leading citizens

She makes clothes and belts

And sells them to merchants

She is strong, respected and not afraid of the future

She speaks with gentle wisdom

She is always busy

And looks after her family’s needs

Her children show her appreciation

And her husband praises her

He says

Many women are good wives

But you are the best of them all

Charm is deceptive and beauty disappears

But a woman who honours the Lord

Should be praised

Give her credit for all she does

She deserves the respect of everyone

Proverbs 31:10-31
