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,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
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.
– Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
It’s 12 : 47 PM on day 1180 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, read 1 Chronicles 13, watch the news, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, publish my Disability of the Day feature, watch the news some more, and hang out with my family.
This morning I woke up to the news that Nelson Mandela had passed away last night needless to say I am sad that Nelson Mandela is no longer with us but I’m also glad that he’s finally at peace. Rest in peace Nelson Mandela I will forever love you thank you for teaching me forgiveness, perseverance, service, respect and humility.
