It's all about the HAT you wear!

Vivian Dippold

You have waited and waited. Finally, the time has arrived! Change has happened. Graduation is over, a job awaits. Nine months have passed, the baby is about to be born. It’s the first day of school and that kindergarten child gets to ride the school bus with the older sibling. And, the list can go on. Those anticipated opportunities creep up on us and before we know it, they are here…and gone. But when the waiting started, it seemed like forever.

But, the HAT. What about the HAT?

I’ll get to that. First, Joyce Meyer says:

We spend a lot of time in our lives waiting because change is a process. Many people want change, but they don't want to go through the waiting process. But the truth is, waiting is a given—we are going to wait. The question is, are we going to wait the wrong or right way? If we wait the wrong way, we'll be miserable; but if we decide to wait God's way, we can become patient and enjoy the wait. It takes practice…we develop patience, which is one of the most important Christian virtues.

You must understand that a key factor to this waiting situation is how you wait. Mark Twain wrote: “All good things arrive unto them that wait - and don't die in the meantime.” That’s it! Don’t die in the meantime.

Okay, but I still don’t get it. What does a HAT have to do with this!

Listen, it is all about the HAT…the HAT. You wear it on your head to protect you from the elements - or just to look nice. You know – Hope, Anticipation, Trust!
