Waiting is opportunity for taking advantage of what is right in front of us. However, my hubby doesn't share my enthusiastic announcement of 'bonding time'! to a slow-moving, long train we have to wait on.:) Reaching for more closeness to the One who holds our future will help make the most of our waiting moments. Thanks for sharing. Much good awaits you, I’m sure. Waiting is opportunity for taking advantage of what is right in front of us.

As I read this I was reminded of a quote that popped up very unexpectedly a couple of years ago just at the right time when I needed it most, "Respect the timeline that is not ours." It continues to come to my mind often and offers peace when I am in waiting mode. Thank you, Grace, and blessings in abundance as you await the adventures and surprises God has in store for you!

Put a smile on my grumble. Thanks!
