The words of Solomon from Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3 -

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, And a time to die;

A time to plant, and a time to pluck what 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;

A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to gain; And a time to lose;

A time to keep, and a time to throw away;

A time to tear, And a time to sew;

A time to keep silent, And a time to speak;

A time to love, And a time to hate;

A time of war, And a time of peace.

My life is guided by my Christian beliefs and values.  Some words of wisdom and inspiration are shared below.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
