Dad and I had great conversations this weekend.
No matter our age, parents can still impart so much wisdom.
Today, he talked about

~ The Art of Waiting ~
waiting
for school to begin
for school to end
for the right job
to retire
for the right person
to save enough money
for good food to cook
patiently for your turn
to heal
to understand God's answer
There's a fine art to
waiting
~ a delicate patience ~
Lord, may I learn that the fine art of
waiting
is knowing that each moment
each now
is in itself a prize.
Being content is the perfect way of waiting. Thoughtful post, Maria!
ReplyDeleteThey that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength....I am counting on this verse. I need to be renewed. Much going on here that I cannot write about. I will be waiting on Him.....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post today my friend...yes a good reminder to us all...why do we forget these important life lessons?
ReplyDeleteHappy Day sweet friend...enjoy time at home with your sweet WISE Dad!
xoxoxo

ReplyDeleteHi, Maria,
ReplyDeleteSuch great and beautiful thoughts, the art of waiting, enjoying each moment as it happens. You always impart such wisdom. Blessings to you, your sweet dad and entire family~love always~Vicki
Such words of wisdom :)
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful post, dearest Maria. Your picture is so cute! This kind of moments shared with your father are the moments you will never ever forget and cherish forever. I think many times about priceless conversations between my dad and I.
ReplyDeleteHugs and more hugs for a happy Monday off from school. Enjoy joy joy, sweet friend xxxx
Ah yes Maria. We seem to be in the "school of waiting." I am trusting that not one of those moments is wasted. The Father has purpose in everything - even waiting.
ReplyDeleteThis was beautiful.
Maria-I need to find a way to frame these words. Waiting isn't something I do well at all. I don't wait well in doctor's offices, or for packages I order or for anything really. I need to work on this one!
ReplyDeleteYou are so blessed to still have him to talk to. And yes, this is a lesson that life teaches all of us...patience! It's a good one to learn too ;D
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture, Maria!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful message, dear Maria! I LOVE it! I can say I am a bit more patient through the years. Wish I were more...
Have a great, sweet week, dear!! Bela.
Maria, This post is so wonderful - I'm shaking my head in agreement! Patience is "delicate" and the control it requires is easily broken.
ReplyDeleteHow perfect Maria! Your daddy is very wise! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleteWisdom beautifully shared! Thank you, Maria! God bless!
ReplyDeleteOh Maria!
ReplyDeleteYour heart is so PURE and so SWEET!
You are truly one of the loveliest people I know!
Thank you for blessing me with such sweetness!
Now!
About WAITING!
I just KNOW you must be WAITING for that sweet LL necklace.
Forgive me my friend!
I promise with all my HEART I will send it off this week!
I have your address.
Please forgive!
I've been distracted!
Hugs!
And KISSES!

What a blessing ~~ Conversations with your Dad. I miss that so.
ReplyDeleteI have learned through many trials, and difficulties, that "waiting" is truly a gift, and accomplishes much if we are willing to do it.
Thanks again, for inspiring us with your words of wisdom!
Your beautiful post today reminds me of a quote I just read: There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child. -Henry Ward Beecher
ReplyDeleteYour dad is a special and wise man...:) Enjoy this gift from God...your Dad!
Have a wonderful day!
xoxo Gloria
Oh Maria, This art is earned by experience. What a beautiful post.

Hi Maria, I am sending you some sweet snowflakes for a wonderful warm evening ***x***x***
ReplyDeleteNever put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Sometimes there is no tomorrow. Waiting is not my thing. I am short on patience and wish I was not. I am working on it tho.
ReplyDeleteLovely~
ReplyDeleteMy Dad recently passed away. I found this comforting. Thank you.
You and your dad . Your words are always filled with love .
ReplyDeleteMy dad died when he was 63 . I cannot imagen how it would be to still have a dad . But I do remember both my grandfathers and they were very special ! and old !
I also remember how my mother loved her father ( my grandfather ) who lived with us for a couple of years after my grandmother died . I still have his pipe and ash-tray.
Thank you for sharing and making me remember these things .
All the best for a wonderful weekend .
beautiful.
ReplyDeleteso wise.
