Why oh why does everything have to be so fast???
We fastforward when we cant wait, have fast food restaurants, instant noodles, instant INSTANT noodles, 3 minute meals, 2 minute meals, one and half minute meals, instant meals (:) )
It may all seem good and fine, but one of the most important virtues we must have as a Christian includes Patience.
What is patience, you may ask?
a woman with four toddler kids all wanting her attention, the food is burning, and her husband just arrived... and yet she still has a smile on her face ( oookay, thats an extreme example)
Patience isnt just putting up with people, or tolerating them, but it also means loving them anyway.. (and I/m not talking about the somewhere deep deep DEEP down in my heart type of love...)
It is a virtue that can help one to endure the most trying of times, and to savour the best of times. Patience produces character, and character produces a good life. Practice patience this week. Do a home cooked meal instead of eating out. Offer to help your siblings with their assignment (... yes, even if they are the most annoying people in the world.)
Build up your virtues, and though people migth not agree (or probably call you a wuss...) but it wont take long before the people that really matter begin to see that good difference in you.
Shalom (which coincidentally means have a nice day in Hebrew), and have a nice day :)
