Patiently Planting Seeds

March 25, 2013 by

As grandparents we can occasionally feel like relics, irrelevant in our busy grandchildren’s lives. However, our steadfastness and the security we provide just by being there is immeasurable. The seeds planted early on may lie dormant for a season, but will sustain life later. The self-confidence my Gramma instilled in me helped me survive some very difficult times in my life. My best friend and advocate, Gramma reflected the unconditional love of God in my life. With patience she welcomed {Read More}

Help! My Husband is Gone all the Time!

March 20, 2013 by

On the first few days my husband was gone for business, the kids and I would do some fun things. We ate special meals. We watched fun movies. Sometimes I’d let the kids sleep in Papa’s spot in our bed. Then life returned to normal, and for a week or two everything would go smoothly. After a few weeks though, I’d be tired. The kids would miss their dad more–especially if he called and talked with them. Bedtimes became tear-fests, {Read More}

Patient…with You

March 19, 2013 by

Think back. Do you remember it? The day you received Jesus Christ into your heart as your Lord and Savior? What did you feel? · Relief? · Joy? · Excitement? How long did it take for you to make that choice for Jesus? Has it been years, months, weeks, or days since that date? Have you ever thought of how long God waited for you to make that choice for Him? We each owed God a tremendous debt–one we could {Read More}

The Patience to Wait for the Vision

March 12, 2013 by

“Though it tarries, wait for it…” Habakkuh 2:3 “Patience is not the same as indifference; patience conveys the idea of someone who is tremendously strong and able to withstand all assaults. Having the vision of God is the source of patience because it gives us God’s true and proper inspiration. Moses endured, not because of his devotion to his principles of what was right, nor because of his sense of duty to God, but because he had a vision of {Read More}

Doing What I Want to Do

March 11, 2013 by

What if one day your child from the time they got up until they went to sleep acted the opposite of how they should. Some of you may be shaking your head and saying, “What if… girl that is my house some days.” How do you feel on those days? Do you go on the warpath? Do you take out the rod of discipline? Or do you run away and hide as soon as another responsible adult comes through the {Read More}

Patience–Not in My DNA

March 7, 2013 by

“I could never homeschool! I don’t have the patience for that!” I don’t know how many times women have told me that. Every single time I hear those words I want to scream “What makes you think I have any more patience than you?!” When it comes to patience we often think of that quiet, serene, soft-spoken woman who doesn’t get riled up when the dog pukes on the couch. Who lets the harried shopper go ahead of her in {Read More}

When Patience Runs Thin

March 6, 2013 by

I didn’t notice the iron was set too high and burned a hole in my blouse. Impatient, I began ironing again instead of waiting for it to cool down. This time I left the scorched iron imprint on black dress pants. Next was the discovery of toothpaste, hair mousse, and hair spray swiped from my bathroom by teens. Let’s not even talk about the loud vocal search made for the missing hairbrush. Have those kind of days too? That was {Read More}

March ~ Clothed in Patience

March 4, 2013 by

As a little girl I recall overhearing women at church talk about patience. Laughingly they would say, I know I need patience but I’m not praying for it because if I do the Lord will give me something to be patient about! Instead of avoiding patience like a stinky pair of shoes, according to Scripture we should be clothed in it daily.  “Therefore as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” {Read More}
