PORCH CHATTER: TO OUR SEASON

3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

² A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
³ A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
⁴ A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
⁵ A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
⁶ A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
⁷ A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
⁸ A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.    Ecclesiastes  3 (KJV)

A special man lost his battle this week to a disease called emphysema.  He left this place knowing that he had lived his life to the fullest and with all the love he had for his God, his family, and his friends.  Those left to mourn for him will always remember how special he made them feel.

May you rest in peace, George Rhea Smith!!  Your family will miss you but all of us realize you are in the better place!
