Have Patience



I thought this was a good song for a Monday! I find myself humming this song a lot. My girls have heard me sing it, perhaps some of you have as well.

When I was a little girl my mom had a whole bunch of 45's (pre-CD for you youngn's) and one that we just about wore out by listening to so much was The Music Machine. What a story! My imagination would come to life as I listened to the words and the songs. When I graduated from Kindergarten our class did the musical The Music Machine as our ceremony. A girl named Emily and I sang about one of the Fruits of the Spirit. That's as far as my memory goes but it could have been the Patience song.

Such a simple song and a simple message but the truth of it is LOUD and CLEAR! Have patience! Chances are someone has been or is waiting on you so extend the grace of patience to others! Don't be in such a hurry! When did we get to be so hurried that we missed life? Do you realize that is what happens when we rush through life? We miss it! So have patience and remember...God is patient with YOU!

Happy Monday!

The Patience Song

Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
