Patience

Running the Race...
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
-Hebrews 12:1-2

Patience With a Smile
Be patient in little things. Learn to bear the everyday trials and annoyances of life quietly and calmly, and then, when unforseen trouble or calamity comes, your strength will not forsake you.
There is much difference between genuine patience and sullen endurance, as between the smile of love, and the malicious gnashing of the teeth.
-William Swan Plumer
