Patience

Jack just talked to the nurse and they told him to call back on Thursday for his test results. So we will wait patiently.

I would have to say "Patience" is at the bottom of my Fruits of The Spirit. And let me clarify that children are not included in that. I am talking about life situations. I always want the answers and resolution to the issue right now. Maybe that is why God has given me some big trials. I realize that our trials are not near as big as others and for that I am very thankful. But nevertheless between Jack, Alex & Kylie we have been through a few things. Certainly life would be easier if everything was always fair and perfect but it wasn't fair for Jesus so why should it be for me. This is a "Deason Paraphrase" as Bro. Daryle would say but read James 1:2-4 and this is why we are greatful for this trial.

We should be happy when we go through trials because this is His way of perfecting our patience. Our patience is further developed and strengthened by resting in God’s perfect will and timing.
