Leah & The Gift Of Patience

Waiting, Learning, and Growing 😊⏳

This heartwarming parable tells the story of Leah, a young girl who learns a valuable lesson about patient waiting. Early one morning, Leah prays to God, asking for patience for the day ahead. However, from her missed school bus to the long school lunch queue and even a skirmish over the TV at home, Leah’s experiences test her desire to be patient. Each small delay challenges her ability to stay calm and composed.

As the day unfolds, her frustration becomes a mirror of her unfulfilled prayer for patience. It isn’t until bedtime, when she discusses her feelings with her wise mother, that Leah realizes patience isn’t a magic state granted by God in an instant. Instead, it’s a choice—a practice that grows stronger when we see every moment of waiting as an opportunity to please God by controlling our reactions.

The next morning, when faced with yet another minor inconvenience, Leah recalls her mother’s words, takes a deep breath, and finds that her frustration subsides. In this simple yet profound act, she experiences the true meaning of patience: not as an inherited feeling, but as a skill honed one moment at a time. The story combines everyday challenges with spiritual insight, reminding us that every delay is a chance for personal growth and a step towards a more patient heart. 🌟🤍
