Waiting

Good things come to those who wait. I’m not very good at waiting patiently for things to happen although there is a lot of waiting to be done in life. Waiting for a bus; waiting for the traffic lights to change and the traffic jam to ease; waiting for the baby to be born in a very long labour; waiting eight years for Michael to propose and now waiting for the wedding! Despite my impatience, time spent waiting can be quite useful – it is time to reflect and think about things, time to prepare for events and time to pray.
