Waiting

I give thanks for every moment of time in my life.

We have all witnessed the fussing and fuming of one who has difficulty waiting. There are times, it seems, when we all simply must wait. It does no good to be a horn-honker, an agitator, a pusher, or a fumer. Yes, we do have schedules to keep, appointments to make, and other things we had rather be doing, but we can learn to make “waiting time” valuable also.

It may be a good idea to keep a notebook and pen in our car for just such occasions. While waiting, we could write down our goals and purposes. We could list all of the many things that we someday want to do. We could list all that we want to be! We should always keep an idea file, and waiting time is the perfect opportunity to add to it. When we are receptive to ideas, they do come to us easily.

We can’t always avoid waiting, but we certainly can avoid wasting. Time is precious. Let us treat it so.

I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. (Psalm 130:5)
