Patiently Planting Seeds

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…

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….

Patient…with You

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…

The Patience to Wait for the Vision

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…

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…

Patience–Not in My DNA

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,…

When Patience Runs Thin

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…

by

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…
