Scripture: Romans 12:9-15; Ecclesiastes 3:1-2,4

Romans

9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.Practice hospitality.14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 

Ecclesiastes

1   There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:2     a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance
