Patience: According to the dictionary is “The capacity to accept or
tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.” I
do have trouble with that one. If you
know me at all you know that this is so not me.
However, tonight my very own mother told me I had patience. If I have any it’s because of her. And still after 48 ½ years she is still
teaching me. SHE is the one who has patience.
Who knew that she could face time with
me on her iPad, go to her computer to find that password to her wifi network in
order to set up her iPhone to facetime?
We used every piece of technology she has tonight! Thank God for Google
and facetime. I need to learn patience
in waiting for a call or a text. I don’t get angry but I do get anxious. Brian
Adams says “Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when
they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety,
fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness,
and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.” I think I will work on this one and let you know
how it turns out.
