Love is Patient 

Without patience, we may quit just when we are needed most.
Without patience, we may yield to what is negative or unkind.
Without patience, we may join the crowd instead of honoring our inner guidance.
Without patience, we may become angry or resentful.
Without patience, we may forget Love is Who we are.
Without patience, we may make up our minds and negate the other’s viewpoint.
Without patience, we may choose to be “right” and make the other “wrong”.
Without patience, we may forget to put our loving relationship first.
Without patience, we may push and punish and create resistance.
Without patience, we may cause animosity and separation rather than forgiveness and closeness.
Without patience, we may lose what we have sought.
Without patience, we can forget the reason for our being.

Patience with others begets patience with ourselves.
Everyone deserves patience.

Life is a journey.
To focus on the destination may cause us to miss the beauty and goodness, the miracles and laughter along the way.
I am willing to learn everyday to be more patient.
I am willing to listen only to my heart, the Voice for Love.

Loving you,
Betty Lue
