Guarding the Gift of A Patient Heart

Patient. On the one hand, my son, James, had no patience when it came to not knowing what his gifts were under the Christmas tree; when we weren’t around he would prick tiny holes in the wrapping paper so he could find out. On the other hand, he had great patience in that he would painstakingly with great care use this process he had developed of putting these tiny holes in the paper- that you wouldn’t even see unless you were looking for them. Do you ever lose your patience around this time of year? …and with it, your “Christmas spirit?” Want to get it back?
