Take a Number, Please

Book excerpt: Life is about living, and one thing we know for sure is that living involves waiting. We wait our turn by taking a number, or maybe one is assigned to us. We wait to see a doctor; our name is on a list. We wait to renew our license; we pulled a number. We wait for an available table; we’re handed a digital pager. We sometimes feel we spend most of our lives waiting for something or someone. And then there is waiting on God. In her book, Take a Number, Please: In Other Words ... Wait, author Gilda C. Hoychick shares stories about waiting. This collection of personal anecdotes and wisdom found in God’s Word will make you smile and reflect on times of waiting in your life. She also uses the Bible to teach important lessons relevant to living a Christian life. Take a Number, Please: In Other Words ... Wait, is a celebration of God and His infinite love and grace for us. You will find hope and encouragement through these pages of memoirs and times of waiting; most important, waiting on, trusting in, and putting your hope in the Lord. After all, He is the One who holds all the numbers.
