I can’t for this work day to end.
I can’t wait for my child to come home.
I can’t wait till payday.
I can’t wait…
I say I can’t wait a lot, I think we all do. Truth is I can wait, we all can we just don’t want to.
Saying I can’t wait is like wishing our lives away. We are so focused on what we are waiting for that we miss out on what is here now. We rush through the days leading up to an event. When we look back to our “I can’t wait” time, days or even weeks are gone and we can’t remember what happened. The date on the calendar is later but our memories are blank. We wished the days away, days we can’t get back. The’re gone forever.
We have a finite number of days on this earth and we don’t know when our time is up. We need to make the most our days. We don’t want to wish away our last day, at least I don’t.
I find when I wish away my days waiting for something, it’s here and gone in a flash and I feel let down. The anticipation is gone and I’m looking for the next thing to look forward to, instead of just enjoying my days. Taking each day as it comes. I need to stop saying I can’t wait, because I can wait and I can enjoy the wait.
Waiting on earthly things makes it easier to wait on Godly things. I need to wait on the Lord. I need to love and trust the Lord. I need to be patient and enjoy the life He gave me. I need to stop wishing my life away. Do you?
