Perfect Timing

Day 8 of Gratitude Month.

Sometimes the most loving answer to our prayers is: "Wait."  I've been learning this one a lot lately & it's not an easy lesson for one who so loves to order her own existence.  But what the Universe repeatedly shows me is that the Divine's timing is so much more perfect than my own. 

"Wait" doesn't necessarily have to be a completely passive option.  I think we're meant to do what we can to plant seeds, but then we need to step out of the way & allow maturation of the plant.  It's always been my tendency to peek too soon, before germination is complete & sometimes the new growth is yet too fragile to survive all my meddling.

So today I'm grateful for perfect timing & I ask that I keep this teaching in mind as I wait for all my garden's seeds to mature.  Amen & amen.

Amen and amen! When I was in Jungian analysis, my analyst called this "holding the tension." By holding the tension, we allow what Jungians call the Transcendent Function to arise. I call it God's Grace. Either way, you are right. It's hard to stop ourselves from peeking and meddling, but sometimes that is exactly what we need to do to give Spirit a chance to work wonders. Thank you for the reminder.
