Overjoyed in the Waiting

Job 29:23 They waited for me as for showers and drank in my words as the spring rain.


David is on a four-day weekend. We’re waiting for our eldest son’s wedding on Saturday.

The waiting went by quickly as we had the wedding dress fitting. My daughter-to-be was thoughtful enough to invite me along. She remembers I don’t have a daughter, only two grown sons. She makes the waiting sweeter.

We visited the wedding site last weekend. It was so peaceful and beautiful. We turned a quick visit into a 2-hour family time of connecting in-laws through rest, refreshment and relaxation. We sat on the grass, laughed, talked, and connected. They make the waiting worthwhile.

Last night was the wedding rehearsal. They ran through the program at least three times. So much laughter in the playing around. So much life in Kathryn Scott’s, “I Belong”. So much beauty as the girls march and the boys wait. The little ring-bearer and flower girl. Little one’s oblivion to time fade the waiting away.

Saturday’s almost here. The kids ‘wedding party’ overnight at a vacation house tomorrow. The waiting is almost over.Mr. & Mrs. Taira are waiting to be pronounced. I’m overjoyed in the waiting.

Much love and appreciation to my sister in Christ, Lisa-Jo the one and only Gypsy Mama for bringing us together as a community with these awesome 5-minute prompts.
