Patience

As I look back on lessons learned in my life the one lesson that sticks out the most is patience. You can't enjoy life if you lack patience. There are countless experiences where, if patience is not excercised, frustration and anger will set in. God has repeatedly brought me through circumstances where I need to learn how to be patient or else I will not make it through. Why am I talking about patience? Well, we were kind of wondering if we were ever going to find out the results from dad's CT Scan (which was done on July 14th). It usually takes a week for the results to get back to the patient and so after a week and a half mom phoned and left a message with the head nurse. She phoned back only to inform us that dad's test results had been lost. And so dad will have to go through the whole procedure again. He gets to drink the yummy "scan juice" again which helps point things out in the body. Yes, we are all frustrated and dad thinks this is ridiculous, but we will get through this and it will seem like a distant memory soon enough.
