PATIENCE
This is my final blog on that 1974 missions trip to Mexico. We traveled down and back in a nice Silver Eagle bus retired from the Greyhound bus line and repainted. It was a comfortable ride with restroom included. The plan was to arrive back at Calvary Temple just as the service was beginning on Sunday night.
Of course, we had to have a little buffer time in case of emergencies, so we got back into Ft. Wayne about an hour early. Because loved ones were awaiting us at the church, we didn’t dare go there, so we spent that hour driving around the city. We became very impatient. Some of us had families and children waiting for us, and we were all tired of sitting in that bus for a week. We wanted off! Tempers grew a little raw.
But finally the time arrived and we were greeted by family and friends just as we walked into the full church together. It was a glorious moment. But waiting was agony.
Have you ever gotten impatient waiting upon the Lord’s return? It will be glorious, but we have to wait. When was the last time God taught you a lesson in patience?
