A while ago, I was getting ready to travel for some speaking arrangements.  After much planning and preparation, my flight to London was cancelled due to landing problems at the destination airport. I had checked my bags in and was at the airport for a few hours. It meant going through the process of getting my bags - even more strenuous than normal arrival from overseas. Nonetheless the extra time I got with the family far outweighed the inconveniences.

Sometimes the things that we view as inconveniences offer us a reward, if we are willing to open ourselves up to the opportunity.  This is a good time to use something you see as an inconvenience or a challenge and to turn it into a blessing.  I used the lag time in my travel plans to give of myself to my family.  What can you do today?
