A Time for Everything: Pauli Is One-Month-Old

      1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—
      2 A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
      3 A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear 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 throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to
         shun embracing.
      6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away.
      7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; 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.
      9 What profit is there to the worker from that in which he toils?   
     10 I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.

 Looking back at our life in last two months' time, we cannot help feeling how truly Ecclesiastes 3 has reflected what we have gone through recently. On 15 December 2017, we celebrated the wedding of Wendy and Peter; on 20 December, we greeted the birth of Pauli. On 15 January 2018 we mourned the passing of Lew.

It is a busy time quickened by the fast pace of digital age. We need to slow down, taste and live every moment thoroughly. Or everything will go like a blurring blink.
