Faith and Patience

March 15, 2022

Faith and patience are great additives to your quiver. You can hit the bull’s eye every day if you have the right arrows and if you know how to use them. In many cases things do not happen in the immediacy of the moment. Inspiration is sometimes instantaneous, but the realization of inspiration often takes time, or in some cases a lot of time. In 1971 I was teaching seven and eight year olds in my New Jersey classroom about Ocala, Florida. I was so inspired about what I was teaching that I said, “I hope I can live near Ocala in my lifetime. In 2007 My husband and I moved to the Villages in Florida… eighteen miles away from Ocala. Patience. What did I say about patience? It took 36 years to have my desire come true. The other thing I learned is you better be careful what you wish for. Sometimes your wishes come true in unexpected ways. Listen to what I am saying, “Sometimes your wishes come true in unexpected ways.” When you really and truly want something, even if it is a passing thought from deep in your heart at a specific moment, it might take time to materialize. Be patient, wishes do come true. In my life, I find it is much safer to appreciate what you have, then to wish for something you don’t have. Have faith that you have all you will ever need. You were created so as for this to be true. Using what you have always makes it possible for you to continue on your journey. Your God given talents will make everything you need possible in your life. Sometimes you have to prioritize what you think is really important. I also find that for me living in the present increases my appreciation and gratitude enabling me to be happy. Don’t wish your life away. Enjoy the journey. You will get to your destination with faith and patience. Don’t rush it. Make every day the best day of your life so far. Every day is a new beginning, and every day has an unlimited number of possibilities available for you to choose. Choose carefully. Choose to see the miracles that are always there. If they are not there for you, it is your perception that hides them away from your view. Miracles are twenty-four seven. Have a super dooper crazy great day. I am planning on doing that. I am planning on having a super dooper crazy great day. I will let you know how it played out tomorrow. Bye for now.
