Quarantine Thoughts (2) : Patience

Patience is a virtue, and we all know this for a fact. However, the question that comes to mind is how often do we subscribe to such maxim?

This current situation that we are facing has been testing our patience. I know that we are all itching to go out of our homes and put some degree of normalcy in our lives.

But not just yet, as the troublesome virus is still out there.

Knowingly or unknowingly, we are actually practicing the aforesaid maxim in relation to our current situation – now more than ever.

A lot of things that we do now require tons of patience. How much did you use when you went to the grocery, drug store, or bank? More than the usual amount I guess.

Many of us are impatient in one way or another. We want things done immediately, for there is still a long line of tasks to be attended to. As such, we are always seated at the driver’s seat, making our own decisions, and getting things done our way.

But our current situation has made us move to the passenger’s seat, and patiently wait for the time that we can lay our hands on the steering wheel once again, for there are things that are definitely beyond our control at this time.

Perhaps, God is telling us to be patient, and put our trust in Him that all will be well soon.   

We just have to be, yes, patient.
