I have this son. He is 3 years old.
He's more than a Blessing...at times he is my teacher.
I am very impatient. Very. Not good. Trust me. I know.
He is just like me.
Everything NOW. Not later.
But, some days he teaches me that patience is the only way.
I have caught him several times now, waiting on me.
{It's usually to hit play on the DVD or computer screen to get his favorite movie going.}
The same boy that I just told 20 times to stop, wait and not touch.
He sits and waits.
Quietly.
Patiently.
Because he knows.
That if he waits just long enough for me.
I will come to his rescue.
Every time.
If only.
I had that same patience.
To wait. To endure. To sit quietly. To be patient!
I would know that at the end of the wait...there is reward...
that which you have asked for comes with patience.
It's what I have learned from my 3 year old son..
he is wise beyond his years and my little man.
As an adult.
It's easier said than done...
I love him for being a great teacher...
{Isaiah 40:31} Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
