Patience is a Virtue

On my refrigerator door there is a magnet that reads "Everything will be OK in the end.  If it's not OK, it's not the end."  I love that quote!  It reminds me that we all have trials and challenges  but that's just part of life.  If we have patience, we will get through whatever comes our way, although it may not seem like it at the time.  The baby will (eventually) sleep through the night.  The toddler will be toilet trained.  The child will learn how to read.  If we can do something about a situation, of course we should do all we can to solve the problem.  If it's beyond our control, then we have the opportunity to practice the art of patience.  We will have many of those opportunities as we raise our children!
