May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from God’s glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father. Colossians 1: 11-12Patience is certainly a virtue we all need in our daily living. There seem to be so many things that we have no control over such as the weather, a returned phone call, the arrival of a bus, getting over an illness, the resolution of a conflict. But patience is really not about waiting until someone does something about the problem. True patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to taste the here and now. Sometimes we behave as if the good things we hope for will happen tomorrow, or later and somewhere else. Let us learn to be patient and trust that what we are truly looking for maybe hidden somewhere close by or even right where we are now.
Loving God, Teach us to live in patience, searching to find the good in every moment, and joyfully giving thanks to you for every day. Amen.
