"Où est le tram? Le tram n'est pas ici."* This is the song that Becky devised to enliven the wait for the tram when we lived in Brussels. The tediousness of the wait was replaced by banality of the song. Eventuality the tram arrived.
How do we wait? There is the nervous wait in the dentist's office and the excited wait at the station to see the friend of long ago. Or waiting at home. Either find yet another cushion to straighten or convince yourself that everything is ready then sit and wait.
Waiting for Jesus, sit on the sofa, make pointless adjustments, nervous, excited, tedious, don't give it another thought? I need to start to consider this waiting, this eagerly awaiting.

The gospel is also about Jesus' return but it was the 'eagerly waiting' or rather lack of eagerly waiting that resonated with me. Read the gospel John 5:19-29
*Where is the tram. The tram is not here.
