Timelines.....

Time lines......

I have thought of putting a time line together of our life...the ups and downs, the times of prosperity , the times of lesser, the hard times versus the easier times....what did I learn in each of those times...what was God teaching.....what was I really learning/comprehending.....how did lessons build on one another....what was useful for later on....time of empty hands, times of full hands.......to consider...to ponder...the give thanks in all times as well as things......

Facebook, one of the  online social places has a time line built into it. You can write/post on others' timelines, put pictures on your own etc.  We have our calendars, to keep our schedules, journals....if we kept or keep  journals....of thoughts, appointments .....now we have our computers which keep dated files, pictures....all showing time, history. ....we have our photo albums as a type of time line as well

We can buy books with historical timelines ...some showing all the various rise and fall of world powers from the beginning of written history....we are such a tiny piece...

In the Bible, there are over 800 listing of verses which include the word "time"...

Many, include, "in the course of time"....or "appointed time".....

It is good to look at the "in the course of time" and consider .....some things we will see a pattern of growth, others will be a surprise .....but just like God knit us together in our mother's womb....our times are put together with purpose...

Thank you for Your purpose ,  Your care, Your plans, Your order.....
