Patience

"Adopt the pace of nature:  her secret is Patience."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was grateful this afternoon to see this bush blooming.   We planted it four years ago and it finally has bloomed.  I was feeling very impatient as I looked around our yard and realized I had lots of clean up from a tornado, weeding, trimming, and needing to replace some dead bushes.  Then I spied this lone bush with it is bright red flowers.  It filled me with hope and also a right attitude.  Praying for the people in Panama City who have a very long road ahead of them in rebuilding their city and their lives.
