The Urgency of Waiting

It is easy to grow impatient. We want the newest electronic gadget. We feel an inner compulsion to travel to distant places like our friends and neighbors. It is so important to be patient. Patience is tied to contentedness and that is a great gift of God.

A young music student approached Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He said, "I would like to write a concerto. Can you help me?"
"You are too young," Mozart told him. "Wait until you are older."
"But you were composing music when you were seven or eight years old!?"
"Yes," said Mozart, "but I didn't have to ask anybody how."


Sometimes waiting for our moment is the greatest thing we can do.
