An older woman sits with a cup of tea, looking back across the years. She thinks about the prayers she begged God to answer — the ones He answered later, differently, better. She smiles a slow, full smile and says quietly: “I used to rush God. I used to think He was late. Now I’m grateful He didn’t give me everything when I wanted it.” He has made everything beautiful in its time.

His Peace in Waiting
An older woman sitting in a sunlit room with a cold cup of tea and a Bible in her lap. A younger friend asks how she is holding up. After a pause she says with a small smile: “I’ve spent a lot of my life waiting. But I think I’m learning — finally — to wait with peace instead of worry.” Delays are not denials. Silence is not absence. He is working — in the waiting, through the waiting.
