I am not a very patient person.
My husband will attest to that.
----more---- Yet, this past couple of weeks, I have been the model of patience as both my son and then my husband came down sick.
Between the two of them coughing and waking up in the middle of the night, well, let’s just say, I haven’t been getting much sleep.
Yet, I’m the mom and there is no point and in taking my frustration out on my kid or my husband.
They are sick after all, and need compassion.
And that’s exactly why I was able to be patient with them.
By feeling compassion for them, it is no longer about me and my needs.
It’s about them and their needs.
And by feeling compassion I find I have the patience of a saint.
Well, almost.
