A Time to Uproot
Posted by: | CommentsA Time to Pluck Up
There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven–
2A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
We’ve had a lot of rain here in northwest
One Sunday recently my friend Marie Lewey was leading worship. She talked about the rain and referenced how we could just soak in God’s presence. And that we did. God showed up in such beautiful ways.
In the midst of what Marie was sharing, she mentioned that when the ground was saturated, it was a good time to pull things up. She said that she and her husband Ronnie had recognized that it was a good time to work in the flower beds on this particular weekend, pulling weeds, removing annuals and relocating some perennials. "It was so much easier because the ground was saturated," she said.
I could see the picture in my mind. A big strong hand pulling up a dying flower with the roots hanging down covered with wet soil. And I thought of this verse. There is a time to uproot what is planted.

My friend Jim Moore sent me this by email and I asked him if I could post it here.
Today I’ve been thinking a lot about that Philies fan who gave the foul ball to his daughter only to see her throw it back on the field. If you haven’t seen the video you should watch it here.
The father, who was attending the Phillies game with his three-year-old daughter, had never caught a foul ball even though he had been attending games since he was three as well. But on this night he caught his first foul ball. As he joyously fist bumped with his fellow fans, he handed the prized ball to his daughter. Who promptly threw the ball away!
What has touched the heart of everyone who saw this video is the beautiful way the father responded to the daughter. Never losing his smile he instantly took her into his arms and told her everything was just fine. What a perfect picture of a father who never, for even an instant, loses sight of what is most important – that his child knows how pleasing and loved they really are.
