WAITING

The definition for "wait" in Webster Handy College Dictionary is.. remain, expecting something. We spend a lot of our lives waiting, expecting something. Waiting for a phone call, waiting in lines, waiting for test results, waiting for Christmas morning, waiting for a friends baby or babies to be born, waiting for the time to come when we are called to heaven.
I laid in bed last night thinking about life and death. We are waiting for our friends twins to be born. Two lives just beggining. But we are also waiting for a life to end. We have had a wonderful past 5 months with my mother-in-law. We know the time is coming that she won't be with us. Its strange to be anticipating new life but also anticipating the end of a life. It's comforting to know that God is watching over both.
