A Time Away
“There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven: …
a time to search and a time to give up.”
From Hebrew literature (Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 6)
In September of 2003 my wife and I began to formulate a plan for our 2004 vacation. We dealt with “who, what, when, where, why, how much” questions. Since we wanted to spend some family time with our kids and their spouses, along with my wife’s brother, we first checked to see if they wanted to “party” together for a vacation. We proceeded to then talk about the additional questions.
Recently we've been putting together a trip with comparatively little planning. Just like the wisdom writer of old promised — there is a time to search and a time to give up. Now that there are grandkids, we've found the extended family doesn't have quite as much time to do extensive planning.
I am confident that the time will be good and that renewal will happen. As I trust the rhythms of life, I will have a refreshing time away. I trust that you will have a good week; I am certain that when vacation does start, the adventure will be most meaningful and memorable!
