This will take a while. It always does. Waiting is hard.
Have you been waiting all this time? I have.
In a little while we will all know the truth and arguing
will be fruitless. Waiting is hard.
While you do your job, I’ll do mine.
While I wasn’t looking Jesus prepared a beautiful day for
me.
While I slept God sent His angels to watch over me.
While I was doing this writing, God was working in the lives
of my family and friends.
While I was uploading this on to my blog, Jesus was
preparing a place for me.
Waiting is hard.

From a fellow waiter - Yes! It is so hard! But isn't He so gracious in the giving of such beautiful gifts of grace during the wait! Love your reflections, and your photo illustrates it so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's Winter and Bryn waiting to go play. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteWaiting, yeah, it isn't easy,
ReplyDeleteespecially for the nasty stuff.
Through this night it's left me queasy
'cause I know this day'll be rough,
but then I have to say to me,
"Dude, God's seen this all before.
He'll make defeat your victory,
and make of death a golden door
that leads you from this shadow-land
to a place more real than real
where at last you'll understand
what it truly means to heal,
so suck it up and try to smile
all through this dim-hard-waiting-while."
Thank you

DeleteI love the way you present this poem. It is true. What Jesus does in answer to our prayers, whilst we are busy serving and looking the other way...
ReplyDeleteOne line also struck me to reflect on - 'While you do your job, I’ll do mine.'
