A Season for Everything

The house has been vibrantly busy and full for the last 10 days

Graduation Activities

New Chapters beginning

Porchside gatherings

Sipping wine and cocktails in the moonlight

Salmon, burgers, chicken on the grill

The Driveway has been loaded with cars

a welcoming site, sorely missed

Backdoor

opening

closing

nostalgic, rhythmic slamming

Boyfriends

Girlfriends

Best Friends

New Friends

Family

The familiarity of a once younger household

Quiet returned today

Guests departed

Work resumed

The dizzying racket of dehumidifiers and blowers

unplugged

taken away

Every season is unique to its space in time

the calm and quiet

the busy and frenzied

each a memory made

each significant

Ecclesiastes 3:3-8

A season for everything

3 There’s a season for everything and a time for every matter under the heavens: 2  a time for giving birth and a time for dying, a time for planting and a time for uprooting what was planted, 3  a time for killing and a time for healing, a time for tearing down and a time for building up, 4  a time for crying and a time for laughing, a time for mourning and a time for dancing, 5  a time for throwing stones and a time for gathering stones, a time for embracing and a time for avoiding embraces, 6  a time for searching and a time for losing, a time for keeping and a time for throwing away, 7  a time for tearing and a time for repairing, a time for keeping silent and a time for speaking, 8  a time for loving and a time for hating, a time for war and a time for peace.
