― Joyce Meyer
Sometimes we
just can't wait. It seems that most of
the time, we are rushing, trying to make it from one place to another...
A woman I
know found herself with a couple of hours -- to herself! She decided to cross a few errands off her list,
one of which was framing a drawing that one of her children had made. When she arrived at the framing store, the
owner was attending to an older man in a wheelchair who was having several
pieces framed.
The owner
looked up and said, "I am so sorry.
We've just started. It's going to
take a while."
"No
problem," the woman I know I said.
Because -- for once -- it really wasn't.
She sat down and waited about 20 minutes. And she didn't mind.
Later, the
woman remembered how she used to define patience for her children when they
were small: "Patience is waiting
with a smile."
