Picture of Hope Day 2: Waiting
Day 2. I will share a blog post here every day for one week, and I will do this on Monday, 8 July, 2019 through Saturday, 13 July, 2019. I invite you to come back and follow this blog for some uplifting pictures, inspiration, and hope.
Dog Waiting for the Train


There is much to be said about waiting. What we do or experience while waiting can make life interesting or boring. It depends how we look at it. Waiting in line at a grocery store, or on a ride in an elevator. How Christians are waiting in hope on answer to prayers, or how we spend time in a train station or at the doctors office.



Waiting for the Train


I notice often while waiting how many people are focused on their smartphone, I personally use that time to think and ponder and daydream about (my) life and things that give me hope, or use my phone to call someone and have meaningful conversation. In this day and age of constant information of outside input, it is important for us to spend at least one hour a day with our own thoughts.

Waiting at the supermarket queue, or the GP surgery simply makes me agitated as it's usually airless, and I feel I could use my time better elsewhere but it is what it is. Other times/places, I'm happy to people watch, and just see what's around and what's going on.
Nice photo, he looks very patient.

Thanks Fran. I agree. I like to people watch as well ... that is probably why I got this picture.

I love the fact that dogs seem to have endless patience while waiting for their master/mistress to come home. They could teach us such a lot to take time to wait

Yes, Jenny, there are many things a dog can teach us. Since I was a child I often wondered why 'dog' is just 'God' spelled in reverse. Thank you!

That's interesting... I've just realized that I like to go into my "waiting mode" whenever I am forced to wait for anything. "Waiting mode" means "no hurry" and I love to be in no hurry :)

Interesting. I bet I have a few of those modes that I take for granted as well.
