🧂 TREE 545: Good seasoning makes the difference

TREEpeat 107

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
…
everything [is] beautiful in its time.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1–8,11)

What is the beautiful, elegant, fitting, effective thing you can do now that suits the season you’re in?
