What Is Patience...
Permalink  
 


"PATIENCE is quiet hope and trust, expecting things to turn out all right. Patience is being calm and tolerant when difficult things happen. It means showing acceptance when you or others make mistakes. Patience is doing something now so that later it will bear fruit, like planting a seed and waiting for it to grow. Patience is a commitment to the future."

Sorry Phil - could not resist:


Patience is a virtue,


Virtue is a grace,


Grace is a little girl who wouldn't wash her face....


Lots of love (but shockingly little patience)


Kachasu.

Good afternoon Phil,

Thank you for reminding me about patience – something I have been lacking recently! I needed a reminder today.

Have a great day,

Carol

Patience for me is waiting for some of my prayers to be answered and with that being said here's what has been happening lately.  A full time job oppurtunity has come my way and a new place to live has presented itself to me.  Now with all this on my plate I go into the think, think, think, frame of mind.  Sometimes I think way to far ahead, then the past creeps in there but not very often, I end up taking a deep breath, and start over with what has to be done today.  Just to clear one thing up - the reason the past creeps in is because my new residence is  where I use to live when my life went for a dump - it is the same building just a different floor but on the other hand it is a new beginning for me - yet again - think, think, think.  Just my share at this moment in time.


Later - Jeannie
