Ben's class recently presented a very fun program at the elementary chapel on patience.
The main verse was Proverbs 19:11
A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.

Another poster that came through on Facebook is this.
I like the saying. It is what God wants us to do; He is teaching me more and more to stop trying to be in control and in charge and just let Him be that. There is a lot of courage in giving up control and allowing God to lead...but it is so much better that way. He is soverign and all things work out for our good and His glory.
Like He says in Psalm 37: 6 - 8
6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
HATE has four letters
but so does LOVE
ENEMIES has seven letters
but so does FRIENDS
LYING has five letters
but so does TRUTH
HURT has four letters
but so does HEAL
Transform the negative into a positive
It is our perception that makes the difference in the way we feel.
This saying came across my facebook page recently. It just says very succinctly what God has been teaching me, too. Hope you find encouragement in this saying to look for the graces and positives of life.
Hugs!
"Forgiveness is the key which unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred.
It breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.
The forgiveness of Jesus not only takes away our sin,
it makes them as if they had never been."
It is not unusual to see an occasional mouse or cockroach in the grocery store while shopping (depending which store you shop at).
I figure the one that walked by my foot today slowly and unsteadily must be dying slowly from mouse poison!
I just kicked him out of the way!
Amazing, really, seven years ago I was terrified of roaches, rats and mice....today i pretty much view them as an annoyance but normal part of life here in the Philippines!
But word to the wise....wash the can lids prior to opening your canned goods!!!!
