STOP AND THINK Nature always takes her time. Great oaks don’t become great overnight. (Andrew Matthews, international speaker and author)

Patience is not a virtue to be found easily in modern society. We want what we want, and we want it right now. But almost anything of value and worth will take time and effort. Perseverance is a much needed trait today.

[We pray that you may be] strengthened with all power according to [God’s] glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience. (Colossians 1:11)
