Patience is a virtue but also a test. That which we desire is often not immediate in forthcoming. In this day and age the desire is to have things immediately with no waiting period. That is just not how things normally happen. (Sirach 1:23, 2:4) Right now for many of us it is waiting for the COVID 19 shots to become available. Ranting and raving does no good since we have no control over supplies of the vaccine or it's distribution. The same is true of the prayers we offer up. (James 5:7) It is at the Lord's pleasure when we are answered not ours. He decides the proper time. Throughout scripture we are implored to wait on the Lord. It is a time of strengthening. If we are to Trust in the Lord we must learn to be patient. If our belief is to be proven we must be patient. If anything we seek is truly worth anything we must be patient. (proverbs 25:15, Ecclesiastics 7:8, Galatians 5:22, Ephesians 4:2, Colossians 3:12, 2 Peter 3:15) All of these and many more are in the word.
I would like to share a needle point I did some years back. I am an avid humming bird and butterfly fan. This needle work is of butterflies.
This took many weeks to finish. It was done in the 80's when I had a broken leg. I did not take a photo of the back but it is almost as nice as the front. The white cloth background yellowed a bit but it is special. I wanted to do another but could not find another this nice. I am just happy this one was available.
That is it for this post. Thank you for stopping by and commenting and God bless. Remember to always "Love The Details."
