Daniel: "Indeed as you as [[students]] have seen throughout these last few years all of the lessons are [[integrated]] and are tied together. If you would [[picture]] for a moment a tree with the trunk going up and the many branches and limbs going off the main tree, you can see readily that each branch is [[connected]] to the body. And thus it is with all of the [[fruits of the Spirit]], the gifts of the [[First Source and Center]]. They are all [[integrated]] and tied together in some fashion. Indeed is it ever more likely that you will hold [[patience]], know patience, live patience when there is [[understanding]]. When there is a lack of understanding patience is short, patience is not always there.

If we took the example of the [[parent]]...let us consider a parent with a young child. First of all the parent must have an [[understanding]] of themselves. And then they must have an understanding of that child. It is most helpful if the parent has an understanding of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_development child development]. This, then, is looking at [[understanding]] on three different levels, [[personal]], the [[child]], and general child development. If any one of these three is lacking, then the [[chances]] for that [[parent]] to be patient at times of [[stress]] and in times of needing to be the [[guide]] for that child in [[child rearing]] will be very low. If, however, the parent has a good understanding of the child and the development [[stage]] they are in, they will understand why this one and a half year old is constantly putting things in their mouth, constantly climbing, constantly into things. They will not take it as a personal vendetta against the parent that day, but that this is a [[natural]] need and tendency for that child at that age. If the [[parent]] understands that a child's [[temperament]] is one that is different from the child next door, then they are better able to cope with the child as they are in these [[different]] [[stages]] of development. If the parent understands their own [[temperament]], what is happening to them on any particular day, then they will better be able to understand the [[relationship]] of the child and parent. And in this understanding, then, in times of [[stress]] and duress, [[patience]] can be better held in rein. If, however, the parent does not have [[control]] or understanding in these areas, patience will be very short. Yes, those who are understanding will, indeed, have more [[tolerance]] and patience for the [[weaknesses]] that they, themselves, have and their fellow brothers and sisters. Thank you for your [[insight]] into this area."

K3: "Thank you Daniel. That was excellent. I like your [[analogy]] of the oak tree and all the lessons as the branches and the gifts that they provide. I would say gifts are fruits of [[the Father]]. And it is a great [[experience]] and fun to partake of these fruits of the Father. Thank you for your patience and very good lessons."
