Me: Are you decorating your tree?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: Yes, I am going to start the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: Let me share and then we can turn to some joyful activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from Barclay teaching on patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word never means the spirit which sits with folded hands and simply bears things. It is victorious endurance and constancy under trail. It is Christian steadfastness, the brave and courageous acceptance of everything life can do to us, and the transmuting of even the worst into another stop on the upward way. It is the courageous and triumphant ability to bear things, which enables a man to pass breaking point and not to break, and always to greet the unseen with a cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the patience that you are being called too. The Lord will be with your spirit to help you. Call upon the name of the Lord and He will be with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with? Mark 10:38<\/p>\n\n\n\n
