Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

This was the First Reading at my Grandpa's Funeral read by myself.

Bernard Leonard Dalton "Bernie" born 14th March 1922, died 19th December 2009.


All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
A time to kill, and a time to heal.
A time to destroy, 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.
A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to get, and a time to lose.
A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
A time to rend, and a time to sew.
A time to keep silent, and a time to speak.
A time of love, and a time of hatred.
A time of war, and a time of peace.
