(That is George's orchid)Today I'm stealing something I read on Emily Elizabeth's blog. I'd say it reflects the scriptural principle of being content in what ever state you are. I need it 'cause my insides seem to rush alot if you know what I mean.
"Patience is a hard discipline. It's not just waiting until something happens over which we have no control:the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict. Patience is not a waiting passivity until someone else does something.Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient, we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow...later...and somewhere else. Let's be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand."

I must be a very impatient person, I'll have to work on this. Carole W.
