I just love Elizabeth’s story and all the lessons there. So much we can learn from these women and from the times of waiting. Hope you are having a great weekend, Nancy

Waiting offers us many gifts if we just pay attention. I am slowly learning that noticing, paying attention is a powerful practice and one I need to grow it. Hope your weekend is going great. Blessings, Lisa!

Waiting can be so hard but so full of lessons. I too love the story of Mary and Elizabeth and this is one that has taught me so much this season. Hope you are having a great weekend, Martha

And I love the alliteration that makes it easy to remember these worthwhile tasks while waiting: bless, become, and behold. Thank you, Jean!

Waiting is a time we can bless others.” I need to dwell on this…. Quite a profound opportunity we’re giving as we wait.

You had me looking at these familiar verses with entirely new eyes. Yes, waiting is a time when God is working out His plans for us, and there is so much we can learn when we listen to Him. Blessings!
