A man and woman spotted each other on the morning air shuttle. Sparks flew, but no words were exchanged as they stood together in the taxi line at Washington National. She got in a cab, looked back, and saw him running after her. She begged the cabbie to stop, but he kept going. In desperation she scrawled her phone number on a piece of paper and pressed it against the back window. But she knew the man was too far away to read it.<\/p>\n
She went to her meeting, but she couldn\u2019t stop thinking about him. So she feigned illness and returned to the airport to wait for him to catch the shuttle back to New York. She waited all day, but he didn\u2019t show.<\/p>\n
She took her flight. When she stepped into the gate area, he was there. \u201cWhat took you so long?\u201d he asked. \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting all day.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple eventually married.<\/p>\n
How like God this story is. In his great love, he waits for us\u2014as long as it takes\u2014so he can make us his own.<\/p>\n
