thought-provoking

 i thought these words (which i reformatted) from Sarah Markley at {in}courage were worthy of contemplation:

So next time we are forced to wait, 

for a child, 

for an ever-late husband, 

for a project or a venture 

to be born into existence, 

 maybe we can rest in the waiting, 

knowing that it’s making us ready 

for the next thing.

That is the grace in life: 

that even in the long night 

before the morning, 

there is goodness even there.
