A triumphant life lived

Life has seasons to it. Often times we look at what's in front of us and think "Wow, life could never get better than this." or "Whoa, this is the worst time of my life". But we are always wrong. There will always be hard seasons that come and seem harder than anything in the world. But there is always a beautiful season not far off. And if we are mindful to pay attention, to stay open to life's ebb and flow... each season, even the most difficult, will hold poignant lessons and rare beauty that can only be found in the midst of that very season at that exact moment. And what a triumphant life lived, were we to recognize those moments and cherish them as we make our way to heaven's gates...

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV)
