CAMPGROUND COUSINS!

Memories from Deep Creek campground week with 4 cousins... my paraphrase from Ecclesiastes...

There is a time for everything,

    and a season for every activity under the heavens: including telling "Star in the Middle" story 

2     a time to be born

and a time to die, (& bury the cicada)

    a time to plant (with all the needed accoutrements)

and a time to uproot,
3  ....... a time to heal, 

(Uncle Josh showed PopPop exercises, Jack held the equipment & offered to take his temperature while Goldie supervised.) 

    a time to tear down and a time to build,
4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,

    a time to mourn (because 5 of our cousins could not join us),and a time to dance, (even singing and dancing in the rain with Shug)

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,

8     a time to love...............

   ............. and a time for peace.

He has made everything beautiful in its time.

He has set eternity in the human heart;.........I know there is nothing better for people that to be happy.....

...and to do good while they live that each of them may eat (birthday cupcakes)

and drink, and find satisfaction in their toil---this is the gift of God. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-13)
