91. Patience

Ralph Marston once said, “The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.”

Patience is a virtue that I do not seem to possess. I get rattled when things don’t go the way I plan or want them to. It does not mean though that I am not a person who would accept things easily...well, maybe I just want things done properly and in order all the time. It does not also follow that I do not have faith. I just believe that things work better if we work for it. Thank God, my husband is the exact opposite of me. When things don’t turn out the way it should be, he takes it in stride. He believes that everything happens for a reason, and that everything happens for good. Patience is a virtue that he has...in plenty!
