Patience
11 A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. Proverbs 19:11
Before this holiday I was entirely impatient with several things going on in my life, and it was pulling on me and my health. Over the break I worked on a one-thousand piece puzzle. This gave a true test of patience to me, but it also tested what I have learned in my life. With so many colors and shapes, I struggled at times to see what I was trying to put together. When I would walk away to take a break and a deep breath, I could usually come back and find several pieces that fit within the puzzle. I was finding that I could rely on what I learned previously about color and shade and not so much the shape of the puzzle piece. This can be applied to our own lives, by not focusing so much on the minute details but to look at the overall picture. This focus can build patience with others and yourself. Turn to wisdom to build that patience.
Have a great weekend.
