Have you ever noticed that sometimes it seems like all we do in life is wait? well remember the old quote, "good things come to those who wait." It's true often, but I'll tell you what.. sometimes waiting on something is the worst. It's actually not the waiting it's the surge of expectation when you get almost to the end of the waiting. When someone says, it's almost ready, and whatever it is takes another hour, another day another month, another year, another lifetime.
If we aren't careful we will put our trust not in God but in how we understand things SHOULD be. How we thinks things OUGHT to be, the Way that someone told us things ARE. Instead of listening to that small voice and just resting.
How much better off would we be when waiting if we would simply lay down and sleep or better yet, look for opportunities to reach out to others? How much better would the world be if people could learn to wait with grace, To wait with compassion, to wait with care... I think the world would be a far better place.
I saw an image the other day it said the world is full of kind people if you can't find one, then be one.
And that's true the world is full of people waiting for just the RIGHT moment become a person who lives in every moment.
We can live our lives moment to moment and really enjoy things or we can be so intensely focused on that one thing we are waiting for and miss all the little things.
My time is up,
My peace I give to you,
Jonathan
