Then followed by I Corinthians 13:1-13...
Ecclesiastes 3 is about TIME and I Corinthians 13 is about LOVE. I have been moved over and over by the "Time" verse every time I read it. In fact, I have it carved in my heart in mind. It's just so real that even if I sometimes deny its truthfulness, I always end up accepting the inevitable fact. These verses have helped me coped up with the trials in my life, helped me to understand that life has a beginning and an end, such as love begins and ends... Sigh... let me share the verse to you, you'll surely like it...
A TIME FOR EVERYTHING
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace
Hmmm... I'm sure others are more familiar with the LOVE verse, I think it's equally (maybe more) popular.
What about you? I'm sure you read the bible, which particular verses appeals to you? How did it affect your life? Why?

i always hold on to this verse;
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

I like 1 Corinthians about Love because there is an almost identical verse in The Book Of Mormon. I'm Prebyterian and my husband is Mormon, and those verses about love bring our two religions together.
Mormons are CChristians, and the Book Of Mormon is considered ANOTHER testamant of Jesus Christ. I like to say that main-stream Christians are right between Jews (who have one testiment) and Mormons )who have three),
