Patience

Patience is love waiting without complaining.

Think of anyone who has waited for you. A parent at the school gate. A friend who kept inviting you until you were ready to come. A partner who stood by while you figured things out.

They could have complained. Instead they waited, warmly, trusting that you'd come round.

That's what patience really is — love that knows how to wait.

Who are you waiting for right now? Can you wait a little more kindly?
