Waiting...and more Waiting...

After the longest winter of my life, I think I can truthfully say that Spring has finally arrived.

But she certainly took her time.

We had snow a week ago, and a killing frost after that. I know it was a killing frost because I lost 12 tomatoes and 8 green peppers -- inside the greenhouse!

However, that is all in the past. Today we had lovely sunshine and miracle of miracles: no wind! I hummed a happy tune, while I planted pots for the verandah. And I almost cried when I saw

two Finches in a Pear Tree…

And the pear tree has begun to flower.

Oh happy day!

Are you longing for something?

Waiting can be a real challenge.

It seems that almost everyone I know is waiting for something….

Psalm 130:5 says,

“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.”

During my times of waiting, I’ve found strength in knowing that my Heavenly Father has my days all planned for me…

I can wait patiently, knowing that his timing is best.

If you are currently waiting, search scriptures for direction.

And know that as you wait,

your Father knows what lies ahead

and is preparing you for it,

right now.
