On Waiting

On Waiting

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up on wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”  Isaiah 40:31

Remember when you were a kid and it seemed like it took forever for Christmas morning (or in our case, the wee hours of Christmas Eve night) to arrive?  Waiting to tear into the fancily wrapped packages under the tree; waiting to bite into all the candy coated Christmas cookies that you helped to bake during the weeks before.  Waiting was difficult to do back then, and sometimes it can be the hardest thing you can do now.

On the flip side…think of all the wonderful fun you had playing with all of the toys and games once they were they were opened.   And how could you possibly fit another bite of cookies and candy canes into your mouth without exploding…but they were all so delicious!  Oh the sweet rewards of waiting, eh?

Waiting is not always pleasant, but when the wait is over…oh what glorious gifts await us!

May you wait with anticipation and hope for the wonderful gifts that God has prepared for you this Christmas season!

Peace and love,

Felecia

On Eagle’s Wings…it’s all in the waiting; for His timing is perfect and His way is clear…

“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”  Isaiah 40:31

On Eagle’s Wings

On eagle’s wings you carry me,

from all that causes me to fear.

Wherever I go, whatever I do;

I know that you are always near.

On eagle’s wings you carry me,

Lord, only you have the power to see,

What the future holds, what I am to do;

teach me your ways; your servant I’ll always be.

On eagle’s wings you carry me,

I will never give up the fight.

Your Word is my strength, your Holy Spirit my guide;

trusting in you; I’ll never be out of your sight.

On eagle’s wings you carry me,

though the journey be varied and long.

I can rise above any trouble I face;

for in your truth I can never go wrong.

May the peace  of the Lord be always with you,

Felecia
