Trials and tribulations, both at the airport and at home (or anywhere else, for that matter) are a part of this life.

It is true that a final and eternally enduring triumph over our circumstances must wait until we enter the gates of Heaven. In the meantime, though, a unique kind of joy in the Lord can be our strength whenever we truly require it to be.
All that is necessary is the willingness to seek Him in real time, no matter what may be afflicting our lives, and the faith to trust Him and Him alone for solace when we truly need it most.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. Romans 8:18 (ESV)
