Wisdom during this pandemic

Wisdom during this pandemic
from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

For everything there is a season,

  and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to be born,

  and a time to die;

a time to move around,

  and a time to shelter in place;

a time to experience dis-ease,

  and a time to heal;

a time to break down in despair,

  and a time to build up immunities;

a time to screen,

  and a time to share a laugh with the screener;

a time to mourn the economic toll of this pandemic,

  and a time to offer support to neighbors and strangers in need;

a time to throw away personal protection equipment,

  and a time to gather personal protection equipment together;

a time to embrace,

  and a time to refrain from embracing;

a time to listen the news,

  and a time to talk to family;

a time to keep calm,

  and a time to throw away fears;

a time to tear up grudges,

  and a time to sew masks;

a time to study,

  and a time to play;

a time to love spreading love,

  and a time to hate spreading the virus;

a time for washing hands,

  and a time for washing hands again.
