Patience is a virtue I have always stuggled with (especially this week!). Just ask my Superman and the rug rats.
I loved this talk when President Dieter F Uchtdorf shared it in Conference a while back... I am pretty sure I would have eaten the marshmallow in seconds:
I think this why this report caught my attention while watching the CBC Vancouver News a few days ago:

This helps me feel much less guilt when I tell the kids no. Self control is a life skill. One I am still working on. I sure hope my kids grow up with more patience than I have....It shouldn't be hard. :)

ReplyDeletePatty told me one time that she used to pray for patience but she stopped because Heavenly Father just kept giving her trials so she could learn some!
