change our plans, and we won't be able to go to lunch until Wednesday." 


I cannot tell you how much that discouraged my heart because I had been
looking forward to having a big Whopper with all the accouterments. I 
tried to bounce a cheerful demeanor so she would not have any 
suspicions about me. I'll need to wait another day before indulging in 
my dietary pleasure. 

Looking at me, she said, "That doesn't spoil your plans for the day,
does it?" 

Faking a smile, I told her that everything was okay. 

I still could not get that Whopper out of my mind. I'm not sure what I
will do if she doesn't have a lunch date very soon. 

Wednesday came and the same message was given. The lunch date for today
was canceled until Friday. 

How I will last until Friday is beyond any expectations I might have. I
have never been haunted by such a dietary preference in all my life. 

Friday finally came, and as I was sitting at the fast food restaurant
nibbling on my delicious Whopper, I could never be happier. I guess it 
pays to be patient, and I'm going to enjoy myself. 

My biggest challenge is not allowing her to find out my dietary plans
for the day. 

As I was nibbling my whopper I was reminded of a verse of Scripture. 

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.” (James 
1:2-3). 

The development of patience in my life is one of the greatest challenges
that I face, but the reward is heavenly.
