Tip #309 Wise Words Wednesday; Waiting.

     "One of the greatest strains in life is 

the strain of waiting for God." 

— Oswald Chambers

     I'm not here to debate faith; whether there is or isn't a God, and if there is one, whether he's a he or a she or something else entirely. Your faith (or lack thereof), is your own and mine is mine, and I respect your right to your own beliefs.


     For me, I believe in God. And, I believe that in the midst of illness God is still a great God. I don't feel abandoned, but I do feel impatient. 


     And then I saw the quote above. Whether you are a person of faith or not, I think it is fair to say that Oswald still captures the strain of waiting. If not for God, then waiting for health, peace, freedom from pain or whatever other words you choose to substitute.


   Just wanted to tell you you're not alone, and someone else "gets" it. That's all.


Happy waiting for nary a minute more!
