Several months ago I saw a painting for sale which read -
Patience with others is LOVE
Patience with God is FAITH
Patience with yourself is HOPE
Sometimes I get so busy trying to be patient with God and everybody (refraining from honking and signing in case they're hard of hearing then trying to "wait upon the Lord") that I am too pooped & frustrated to give myself a break.
Doesn't it seem easier and even a little bit more "holy" to be patient with others? It's easy to get discouraged particularly when we look right past everything we have accomplished and focus upon all that we haven't.
When HOPE whispers "Try it one more time." Let's take a deep breath and a moment to remind ourselves that we are equal to the task and deserve another chance. Remember to do your best and be yourself every chance you get and that no one, not even God, asks more of you than your best.
This blog was started when I thought I should be a writer. I no longer think that so this blog is just my little page of thoughts, photos, and the occasional painting.
