endurance & patience

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians:
Brothers and sisters: From the day we heard about you, we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the Kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:9-14

I would never call you stupid, but when I asked you to spell orange and you asked me, “The fruit or the color?” it kind of caught me off guard.

Don’t worry, I’ll navel let it happen again.

If you found out you were dying would you be nicer? Love more? Try something new?

Well you are.

We all are.

Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God: my soul is thirsting for God, the living God.

Ps 42: 2-3
