I can't help but think about how patience would help so much of the world. We live in a "me" society which strives for instant self-gratification and patience is the farthest thing from their minds. The problem with the stock market and losing retirement money makes many of us worry about tomorrow. Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew worrying will not add one more day to your life and the answer to worrying is patience. Be patient when the day is not going the way you planned. Be patient when your spouse or family member doesn't seem to understand you. Be patient when you pray to God and God doesn't answer your prayer right away. Patience is how we can train ourselves to listen to each other and to God. May God give you the patience you need this day.
Courage, Phil <><
