I have been thinking a lot lately about patience, tolerance and compassion. Recently a young adult came into our lives who seems to be testing all of these. He reminds me of people who I met when they they were a young adult who are now considered among my closest friends and parts of our family.
I am trying my best to remain patient, compassionate and tolerant, but I am finding it
difficult. I know people come into our lives for a reason. And maybe that is his role in my life - to test my patience, tolerance and compassion.
How do you maintain patience, tolerance and compassion with the people that test yours?
