Patience: A Lesson from a Grandfather’s Heart

Dear friends, today I want to share a story with you. A story that taught me the true essence of patience. It’s a story about a pregnancy announcement, but not just any announcement. This one was special, and it came with a lesson that has stayed with me for a lifetime.

The Long Wait

Many years ago, my son and his wife were trying to have a baby. They had been trying for a while, but the news they were hoping for was yet to come. Every month, the anticipation would build, only to be met with disappointment. But they didn’t lose hope. They held onto their dream, and they held onto their patience.

The Announcement

Then, one day, I received a call. It was my son, and I could hear the excitement in his voice. “Dad,” he said, “we’re going to have a baby.” The joy in his voice was palpable. But what struck me the most was the relief. The relief that their patience had finally paid off.

The Lesson

That day, I learned a valuable lesson about patience. Patience isn’t just about waiting. It’s about maintaining your composure, your faith, and your hope, even when things don’t go as planned. It’s about understanding that good things take time, and that sometimes, the best things in life are worth waiting for.

Patience in Life

So, my dear friends, remember this story when you’re feeling impatient. Whether you’re waiting for a promotion, a life partner, or even a bus, remember that patience is more than just waiting. It’s about keeping your faith and your hope alive. And remember, the best things in life are often those that we wait for.

Until next time, remember to be patient, keep your faith, and hold onto your dreams. Good things come to those who wait.

Yours in wisdom,

Kev
