Going for a walk… 90% into the walk, the RR crossing goes down. At first, I think it is bad timing. For a nano second I think about running quickly to the other side. Then, I pause and realize God has given me this opportunity to catch my breath, stretch, and remember how I loved watching trains as a child.
God gave me this train delay because I did need to catch my breath. I did enjoy counting the railcars as they passed. I was given time to enjoy these moments.
As Christians, look for those train delays. When God gives you time to slow down: in traffic jams, waiting on a loved one at a doctor’s appointment, unexpected delays- enjoy those moments. Be thankful and find peace in the delay. As you know, it was God orchestrated for your good and His glory anyway.
