A testament to those time when you wait, and not do something impulsive
And later realize that that is progress
(although never discount some of the benefits of impulsive behavior, impulsive nature)

“strength and perseverance”
-“waiting” in God’s Good Time
-“Listening” instead of interrupting
-‘deferring an immediate response”
Increasing impressive, expected and not so very hard to do

accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset
