Bible verse
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Funny story on how cute kids can really be...
How do you get into Heaven?I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven.
I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?"
"NO!" the children answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?"
Again, the answer was, "NO!"
By now I was starting to smile.
Hey, this was fun!
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven?" I asked them again.
Again, they all answered, "NO!"
I was just bursting with pride for them.
Well, I continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"
A five-year-old boy shouted out,"YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!"

My father was telling us this story told by his collegue, who heard it from a priest.
You see, this old lady decided to pray to a Mother Mary statue after church.
At that time, there was construction going on at that site and two workers were overhead of the Mother Mary statue.
They saw the old lady and decided to a bit of fun, teasing her. (that time, the old lady started to pray and she had her eyes close. So she didn't see the two workers.)
One of the workers started to speak, "This is Jesus."
But the old lady had her eyes shut and didn't reply him.
So he tried again.
"This is Jesus speaking."
Still, the old lady didn't answer.
Again, the worker tried for the third time.
"This is Jesus speaking to you."
And this time, the old lady replied him by saying,
"Jesus, I'm speaking to your Mother right now. Can you give me and Her some privacy then I'll get back to you later."
