7,000 people were stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland after all flights into the US are grounded on September 11, 2001. As the people of Newfoundland graciously welcome the "come from aways" into their community in the aftermath, the passengers and locals alike process what's happened while finding love, laughter and new hope in the unlikely and lasting bonds that they forge.

Bad things that can happen when we wait:

W - worry

A - anger (which worry often times gives way to)

I - (you feel) insulted (how dare you make me wait?!)

T - tempted (to do or say things we'll regret, or worse, lose hope)

The same acronym gives us some things we can do instead:

W - Worship.

A - Appreciate everything God's done

I - intercede (pray) for others

T - trust

4 practical, positive things we can do as we wait on God.
