Thank you God for patience. For they type you have for us as we grow and as we take much longer to get to where we need to be than sit should take, we are grateful. For those who we encounter that use it when we also need to get to the place they hope for us in our own way and time, we are blessed by their compassion. For the times when we ourselves need to wait and we do it without grumbling, we are surprised. Let us all learn that the greatest and most glorious things take time and often stormy days and a winding path. May we look to the beauty of your creation and know that there is so much that we see as glorious that formed over generations. May your spirit guide us today and always. Amen.
