In the fall, we can’t wait for the first snowfall (ski season is around the corner). Then we can’t wait for Christmas. And on it goes.\n\nWhen we think of relationships, if we want to marry, we look forward to meeting that special partner. And then we wonder when the engagement will happen. And then we can’t wait for the wedding day, and then for the first child to be born. And then we can’t wait for the child to grow up and get married.\n\nWhen it comes to work, we look forward to finishing a degree, landing our first real job, and receiving promotions. Some of us also look ahead to retirement. And if you live for a long time, you will find yourself longing for heaven.\n\nWhat are you waiting for today?  Do you see your waiting period as wasted time?\nWhile we wait, God is active.\nWhile we wait, God prepares us for something we cannot afford to miss.  \nWhile we wait, we are limited in what we see.  God sees it all!\nWhen the wait is over, be ready to testify to what God has done.\nThe wait for the gift of the Holy Spirit is over.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/-yKS7rLxKXni1A8xlxG5cz-nFaYHFKZjz34ea74hKQo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jZjIy/M2MzNTQ0ODlhYzBh/M2E0NzQ3NDdjMTQ0/Njk1My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
