Lesson

Our Relief Society lesson today was about patience. I have much to learn concidering this topic, but today my thoughts are these... My gram has a saying that she wants me to cut in vinyl for her wall it goes "Happiness is a journey, not a destination". I'd like to replace happiness for a minute with patience. No one is perfectly patient, but we can all strive to be better each day. I think as we do and as we practice being patient we will learn many things along our journey. Many of which may be more important than the actual thing we thought we were waiting for. I have many examples of patience in my life and I appreciate them all. Today I am especially grateful for my uncle John and aunt Edie Esplin. John has been very sick this last year, endured chemo and was physically knocked down over and over again. He underwent a bone marrow transplant last Friday and will be in the hospital for a while now. I've watched them both be strong examples of enduring and patience and many other things I hope to develop someday, and I pray that he will recover and know good health again.
