Patience

There was a postcard in friends house of a long time ago that contained the words 'Lord give me patience but hurry'. That fairly well describes my past and present state. The old adage 'all good things come to those who wait' is not completely adequate in my opinion but has a grain of truth to it. However, the words of a Queen song penned by Freddie Mercury 'I want it all and I want it now' are precariously close to the way I sometimes am. The lesson that I am trying to learn on the basis of past experience is that by showing impatience and trying to rush things along can only prolong them still further. Humility and patience can speed up the process.
