What does patience look like?

Patience means learning to wait and respond with care when something takes time. We can name our feelings and ask for help. Waiting is easier when we find a calm, useful thing to do.

While waiting for your turn, you could watch the game, take a slow breath or encourage the person playing.

Talk about it

A little context

Romans 12:12 links endurance in trouble with hope and prayer. Patience here is part of a life of practical love, not permission for others to keep causing harm.
