The Tree and the Grass
“Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.” ~ Hal Borland
Time is an interesting thing. Timing can be quite eerie. I originally posted this quote as part of the weekly journaling challenge at The Old Front Porch back in January for this week’s challenge. How was I to know just how appropriate it is for today?
Patience and Persistence take time. It’s what I’ve been struggling with as we approach a sharp turning point in our lives. It’s funny though because it’s also something I think about when I think about having kids. I have lots of patience and persistence when it comes to children. Why do I run so short on it in the rest of my life?
Here in this Lenten season, I’m reminded just how patient and persistant God is and how I need to draw inspiration and strength from that.
