Daily Question, November 10

Who needs my patience today? Can I offer it graciously?

  • Patito

    Mi madre y padre. Paciencia y amor.

    myself . . .
    if I don't feel well for a few days,
    I start to become impatient to be better . . .
    I lie there in bed or on the sofa,
    and see the dust bunnies I don't usually notice,
    the dirty dishes piling up in the sink,
    and feel that I must get better and take care of these things.

    Please note:
    I am not the best of housekeepers at any time . . .
    I would much prefer the garden,

    It has only been in recent years
    that I have really begun to enjoy the menial, everyday tasks,
    but still have a hard time keeping up.
    Truth be told,
    I never feel like I keep up,
    but getting sick
    makes everything pile up that much faster.

    Patience,
    I say now . . .
    take the time to heal
    and then get back to work with renewed vigor and inspiration.

    Husband can use my patience today and every day, as he becomes more and more afraid of falling, and more incapable of doing every day tasks. As for doing it graciously, I don’t know. I am tired of being treated like a servant by him, and I think if I try to be more gracious about doing things, he’ll just expect me to do more and more things and won’t even try to do anything for himself. There has to be a medium between being a wife and being a servant, and he needs to learn to respect it.

  • Susan Thompson

    I need my patience today. I have a cold and am cranky. Just writing this feels silly. It doesn’t help to be harsh with myself about being sick.0

  • Doreen Nixon

    I need patience with myself. Through love and compassion I shift from Ego back to Spirit and speak kindly to myself. I can offer myself love and space in which to grow as I remember that the veil is continuing to lift and everything is perfect just as it is. I offer myself love! ????

  • Carrie

    My husband. He sacrifices a great deal for us and I don’t always acknowledge that when I’m struggling myself and forget to get out of my own head.

  • Christina

    Whoa boy, do I need this one today! Myself! Just simple gracious patience with myself and my spiritual and emotional growing pains.

  • Maureen

    My Husband. I can be quite the nag…

  • Cynthia Ann Leighton

    I need to be patient with myself today. My dad died this past fortnight. I miss him.

    • Sheila

      Dear Cynthia, my deepest sympathy to you on the death of your Dad. I can understand that you miss him very much. May God’s peace be with you.

      Blessings, Sheila

    My speech.

    Today I learned more about nonviolent communication (NVC). How the NVC way of thinking, communicating, and using power can lead us away from violence and toward compassionate giving.

    I wish to give the language of NVC te time to condense in thought and speech patterns.

    There’s a person on my sports team who is really obnoxious-and I mean really obnoxious! Not to mention, he’s kinda racist, sexist, homophobic, and generally disrespectful to people too. Still, I need to work on being more patient with him because he is a divine being too. Maybe, it was just how he was taught, or maybe he doesn’t understand the impact of his words in actions. In any case, I ought to treat him with dignity as a being made in the image of God.

  • Jennifer Lennox

    My husband, after suffering three cerebral hemorrhages, has trouble finding the right word, struggles to remember things that recently occurred and sometimes behaves irrationally. He needs my patience more than ever.

  • Susan

    I need to be patient with myself and my husband.

  • Harriet

    I need patience with my mind, thoughts and actions. I’m in the process of moving and very anxious about what to do when, and the weight of this move.

    My husband..everyday.

    ME, especially that self-talk voice in my head whose favorite word is “No.”
