He said "Come on, come on." The elevator did not answer. She slammed her fist on the counter, and asked, "Are you going to help me, or what?" We called a cab, but he thinks it's taking to long to get here. She loudly commands, never stopping, as she rolls her walker down the hallway, "Sign me up to go to the store, tomorrow."
Patience is a Virtue. Patience, in case you are wondering, is the fourth "gift of the Holy Spirit". Patience is rare. Unfortunately, I know of no one who possesses an overabundance of Patience. We all find it so hard to wait.
What is it that we really want? Instant gratification? The first place in line? A perfect world on our OWN time schedule? My way or the highway?
Those thoughts and desires are never going to happen, folks. So, relax. You cannot control the minds, lives or schedules of other people. Let it go. The sooner you learn that you are not in control, the better off you will be. Relax.
The one who gets to the end of life FIRST, is not the winner! Relax, slow down and become less demanding. Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride.
All knowing and all powerful Lord, We are not in control. We will never be in control. You are in control. The scriptures tell us "Wait" on you Lord. Show us how to have patience. Now.
