Patience and Faith

Sabr wa Iman
Patience and faith
Beloveds, we must have patience and faith
More than that
We need resilience, perseverance, and persistence”
– from a poem by Summer Albayati

How are patience and persistence related in your life?

 

Division

Persistence is so extremely important, especially in trying times of division and hate in society.  Those who see justice and liberty as the foundations of a fair society must persist in reaching those goals even when the path is hard, or they are not personally affected by a particular injustice.  We all must put extra effort in being persistent in helping the vulnerable among us. – Judy DiCristofaro (CLF)

How can you help someone more vulnerable today?

Trusting

Persistence is taking the next step, even if you are afraid. Even if you are scared. Trusting the universe over and over again to take care of you is courageous. -JeKaren Olaoya (CLF)

How can you move forward in the face of fear?

Innocence

“Each child connects us to nature, to the innocence and exuberance of a world always hatching newborns: kittens and pups and lambs and babes” -Gary Kowalski

What connects you to innocence and exuberance today?
