Wouldn't it be nice....

Often times I, like so many people, would love to pick the mind of God and ask Him how He measures time. Particularly when something that seems like forever to us is in reality rather brief. Things like waiting, you know, waiting for some means of public transportation, waiting for a phone call, waiting for news of a job interview, it seems endless, but really it is not. Our time on earth is short considering our soul is eternal. Most of the time we never even consider that spin on things. And if a person grows up in a traditional Catholic household, waiting for something is called a test of patience, which builds up virtue. At the time, most of us are not interested in virtue, we just want what we want. But what is in the mind of God? Isn't is it virtue that draws us closer to Him? And so we come back around to the beginning...God is patient with us and asks us to wait for His mark, His Word, His time for ALL THINGS! In that way, we draw closer to Him! Isn't that what life is all about anyway? I mean, we have no life without God anyhow, so why not let Him call the shots!
