Forgetting that life is good and that I am simply being a complainer, this book for children reminds us that there is a reason for everything.Based on the book of Ecclesiastes from the Old Testament, To Everything combines the simplicity but magnifying words of the Bible with the outstanding artistry of the author/illustrator Bob Barner.
The guide at the end of the book tells us that To Everything captures love, hope, and joy as well as the conflict that inevitably occurs in the course of life. The book can be used as a springboard for discussions about the choices we make and the effects of our actions upon others.
This book is a present from a wonderful friend who wrote," When I saw this book it made me think of you." The words in this book serves as a present for all those who are in doubt during these current times.
To everything there is a season
and a time to every purpose
under the heavens.
A time to be born, a time to die.
A time to plant, a time to pick.
A time to tear apart, a time to sew together.
A time to cry, a time to laugh.
A time to hold, a time to let go.
A time for war, a time for peace.
and a time to every purpose
under the heavens.
A time to be born, a time to die.
A time to plant, a time to pick.
A time to tear apart, a time to sew together.
A time to cry, a time to laugh.
A time to hold, a time to let go.
A time for war, a time for peace.
I stared long on that word: die.

All of us in our quiet moments do think about getting old, and dying, or ending our lives. It's normal, but it the joys of living that we need to look for: family, friends, career, shelter, and good health. Take care KJ!
