But I am so glad you did. I am so thankful that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and that His promises are never changing. It is such a difference from the world we live in and from so many people I encounter. Thanks for taking the time to write this.

Your thoughts on patience are timely for me. I am the most impatient person on the planet and your words have inspired me to keep on developing this fruit of the Spirit. I believe the key word here is God's Spirit - that is the starting point for developing patience. I want to invite the Spirit to do this "work" in my life. Blessings to you! Looking forward to seeing you over the holidays! - Jody Moyer Jess – I loved the creative way your dad found to keep you busy until it was really time to get up!
