Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.

Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life.

I wish I had been home more when the children were growing up. I missed a lot.

I realized that the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly to pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy will be done.

Patience is learned through waiting

When you have no character, often times you end up being one.
