“Sometimes God answers our prayers for more time in unexpected ways.”
That is what my parish priest said to me when I told him how being caught in a reduction in force layoff left me at loose ends, uncertain of how to fill my days or use my time. I was about to protest that I had not been praying for more time when I realized that after almost every weekend and holiday in the preceding 4 or 5 years I had started the drive to work by saying or thinking “I need more time.”
Huh?
