New England preacher Phillip Brooks was known for his calmness and poise.

          His intimate friends, however knew that he, too, suffered moments of frustration and irritability.

          One day a friend saw him pacing the floor like a caged lion. “What is the trouble Dr. Brooks?” asked the friend.

          “The trouble is replied Brooks, “that I’m in a hurry, but God isn’t.”

          I met patience and saw that it was wisdom.

          I met patience and saw that it wins out when so many other things fail.

          I met patience and she smiled as she spoke to me for the first time.  It is what she said that made me smile as well.  “Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.”

          Patience.  It is worth its weight in a million shining stars and a billion timeless tomorrows. 

          Patience? 

          It is believing in tomorrow whatever it brings, bending with today whatever it gives and seeking to understand yesterday no matter what it gave.
