“Patience!”

COmpassion

“So yesterday while at work I seen the most beautiful acts love twice in a row..so the first was this dad with his daughter whom was maybe a year old..and he was was telling her to come on because they were ready to leave..and so in her one year old way she sits down on a platform there in the garden that holds our flowers..and she looks at him..she can’t say much..but this dad..pretty big guy..goes over to his baby girl and puts down his things..and sits down there with his daughter..and she looks at him and he looks at her and they are there for a few minutes..sharing a moment with one another..Amen..and it was so beautiful..in that precious moment of their lives..it was perfect for them both..just to enjoy each other..in the busy crazy hectic life that we all live in now..that, that dad had enough time and patience to just take time and make the time to go and sit for a minute..and enjoy that moment with his daughter..how precious is that?!..Amen!”

“And the other was right after that..the mom was filling out her email address..and the dad was gathering up their things..and the son is maybe two or three years old..and he as well wants to push the buttons on the pad where the mom is filling out her information..and so she is very patient..she doesn’t yell at him to sit down..she doesn’t just disregard what he is saying and simply tell him no..she patiently says to him..okay, but give mommy one minute and I’ll let you push the buttons to finish for me..okay?..so the son stands there quietly and waits for his mom to finish..and then she turns around grabs him up so he’s able to reach the pad and so he does and he is so excited about it..and again there was that moment with that mom and her son that was such a beautiful moment for them..as the world goes on in it’s hecticness..this mom slowed down and took the time to acknowledge her baby boy..to hear him..and to let him know that she hears him..how wonderful!..Amen!”

“For the Lord as well does the same thing..He sends people and moments to us in our lives just to let us know that He hears us and our prayers that we’ve prayed..He comes alongside us and is very patient with us..how I love the scriptures that says..the Lord is compassionate and very gracious..He is slow to anger and always abounding in love and grace towards us His children..it goes on to saying like a father that pities his children, so the Lord pities them that fear him..for he knows our frame; he remembers that we are made from the dust..Psalm 103:8-14/Genesis 2:7..Amen..for God looks down on us and takes time one on one to hear us..even with all that is happening the Lord picks us up..loves on us..comforts us..sits down quietly just as the dad did with his daughter..and just as the mom did with her son..Amen..for it’s in those moments that keeps us looking up..keeps us moving on..and helps us to be persistent in our walk and in our lives in which we live for Jesus..Amen..for what a Savior, wonderful Savior it is that we serve..let us never forget those moments and times in which He came right on time..and He showed up just for us..Amen..so be encouraged this very day this is my heart and my prayer for us all too stay encouraged..and that we know just how very much that Jesus loves us..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
