You know what's a hard lesson to learn? Patience! Sometimes I regret asking God to teach me how to be patient. He doesn't just wave a magic wand and make me patient, He gives me opportunities to practice patience. Another hard one, how to rely on Him for EVERYTHING. If I would just learn that one I'd save myself a lot of heartache! As all sufficient as my Savior is, I find myself looking to other people to satisfy my longings again and again, no matter how many times they let me down. Well, I wish I had a solution for this one, I wish I could tell you that I've found the answer to learning patience and dependence on God, but I haven't, we've got to keep struggling through this one together!
One thing I do know, however, is that the simple concept of gratitude is a profoundly helpful one. When I remember to count my blessings at the end of the day, even for just a bit, I'm able to take my focus off of myself and onto my Savior.
So here's to some focus on our Savior for a bit...
