February 7

Waiting can be difficult for those of us in our American culture.  We don't like it.  We are taught to avoid it at all costs and to be grumpy if it proves unavoidable.  Personally, I can actually enjoy waiting.  It forces me to pause, maybe even rest.

Thank you, Lord, for forcing me to pause, to reflect, to perhaps even start a conversation with someone I never would have engaged.  Thank you for unexpected connections and for the joy of rest. In Jesus' name.  Amen.
