Patience doesn't come easy, but it does have a wonderful reward attached to it. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story Cautiously, I pulled my mask down, took a deep smell of my breath and almost passed out. That stench was my breath. The problem was that my mouth was in close proximity to my eyes of which the doctor was going to be working on. Something had to be done before the doctor called me in. As I was thinking of this, the nurse walked into the room and called my name and took me into the surgical room. My prayer at the time was that all of these masks worn by myself, the nurse, and particularly the doctor would actually work. I did not want the stench to go out from my mask to enter the doctor's mask working on me. I prayed a quick prayer, and before I could say “amen,” the doctor walks in. I tried keeping my mouth closed as much as possible, hoping that a closed mouth and several masks would work. The doctor finished his surgery, and just as he was going out the door, he turned and looked at me and said, "Are you sure you didn't have any breakfast? Smells like you ate garbage this morning." My patience deflated right there. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain” (James 5:7). Patience doesn't come easy, but it does have a wonderful reward attached to it. Tweet
