How do you feel about spending time in a
waiting room?
In general, I don't do very well in a waiting room of
any kind. As one American among many, I know I'm not alone.
We tend to think waiting times should be minimized--
time is precious and must be well-spent, and if the
waiting time is too long, well ... I'm going to leave.
I barely had a minute to wait in this room, the lobby
of my dentist's office, but I'm occupying other waiting rooms.
Most of them don't have chairs, televisions, or snacks.
Life has all kinds of waiting rooms, and the Lord often places me
in one sort or another to learn, gulp, patience.
Oh, and don't forget perseverance, trust, and faithfulness.
Some days, I do well and am a peaceable waiting room dweller.
Other times, I complain loudly and check in
at the desk every five minutes. I've been known to kick a chair
or two in these figurative waiting rooms--it's not pretty.
Waiting is hard.
