I have never been a bible thumping, pew preaching, holy rolling catholic but I do have faith and believe that sometimes finding comfort or an answer comes from looking towards that faith. I find myself recalling Sunday morning sermons and the words that my ears absorbed from years of sitting in the front pew at mass. All those years ago when I first heard readings and gospels, I didn't immediately grasp the understanding of those words. As I pass through life and encounter different situations, I suddenly have moments where I finally understand them. This is one of those small verses from the Bible that has clicked and made sense lately.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-7
New International Version (NIV)
A Time for Everything
3 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
