Patience!!!!

The Christlike Attribute for this week is Patience! Patience is the capacity to endure delay, trouble, opposition, or suffering without becoming angry, frustrated or anxious. When we are patient we are able to hold up under pressure and are able to face adversity calmly and hopefully. Everyday there are things that will test our patience. Some of them are traffic (especially for me), relationships, work, and pretty much all aspects of life.

A quote that I love about Patience is from President Thomas S. Monson, it says "Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of a more serious nature. There seems to be a unending supply of challenges for one and all. Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is required."

One of my favorite stories from the scriptures is found towards the end of Mosiah. It is when the people of Alma are being persecuted. We learn from Mosiah 24:15, that they submited cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord. That is amazing. They were going through a very hard time, and they turned to the Lord and exercised patience.

When we are going through hard times in our life we need to be patience. Because everything will all work out. Heavenly Father knows everything and he will be able to bless us in his own time. I hope we can all have a little more Patience in our lives.
