Our lesson today is on [[patience]] and [[opportunity]]. Patience requiring us to wait for [[direction]] is sometimes difficult for those who are accustomed to seizing the reigns and taking [[control]] of each situation in which they find themselves participating. The [[participation]] in [[this mission]] is an opportunity to view this [[tendency]], and to wait for direction rather than take [[control]]. How often are we standing at the [[crossroads]] of our lives and [[valiantly]] [[proclaim]] that this is the way, and yet are unsure of the direction in which we have pointed, and designated ourselves the [[leader]]. When in [[reality]] we are hopeful that the choices we have made are the correct ones. When you are in the [[service]] of [[the Father]] all [[responsibility]] for right and wrong have been removed. Even though the [[path]] may seem rocky there is a surety of the direction in which you are headed . A [[calmness]] that will accompany you upon your [[path]]. If [[adversity]] is encountered it rolls off of your back like [[water]] off of a duck, and your fellows among you would indeed proclaim that this indeed is a rocky road to travel. | Our lesson today is on [[patience]] and [[opportunity]].
