She Waits

She lives a life of waiting.

She waits for her husband to come home. She waits for children and grandchildren to come to her. She waits for retirement. She waits to do the things she dreams of doing. She waits for Jesus to return. She waits for heaven.

While she waits, she lives in a modest home on ten acres of mostly woods. It's a comfortable home although not large. She opens the living room blinds and watches the birds and squirrels in the trees surrounding her home. From her window, she can see the horses in the pasture and neighbors as they pass.

While she waits, she prays. She prays for safety for her family. She prays for guidance and strength. She talks to the Lord all day as she reads and writes. She sits at the computer and sees Him in the e-mails, blogs and web sites she devours.

While she waits, she works on the family business. She keeps the records of all they do; she keeps track of all that needs to be done.

While she waits, she goes to church to join the worship there. She serves the Lord as she is lead, as she is able. She visits with friends and waits for the day the waiting is over.
