Are we there yet? Regardless of the age of our physical body, our inner being has the excitable qualities of a five year old anxiously wanting to get to the prize. Life teaches us that sometimes the things we want take time and if we want to stay sane in the process, it is imperative to develop patience.
I’ve learned that patience is less about waiting and more about developing faith. Living in faith is a place of knowing that I am on the right path. There are days that I may struggle with my faith and sense of well being. This too shall pass. As I stay on purpose and in practice I can connect with the bigger picture of life.
Gratitude helps us develop patience. As we identify the blessings we have already received, we open to the greater Good God has to give. Fillmore reminds us “Begin to praise God for the abundance of all things; your words will crack the omnipresent ethers and good will flow to you from every direction.”
Affirmation: “The serene, calm , trustful Spirit now accomplishes all the desires of my heart. I rest in peace.” Keep a True Lent by Charles Fillmore
