I imagine it takes hours and hours, to pick all the colors, sort the beads, then string them all together with all the different styles and arrangements.
And although I'm not a huge jewelry person, I find her work of art to be beautiful and a testimony towards patience.
I have always known I lack patience. At to an early age I recognized my lack of patience. I am the last born in my family and always wanted to go first but always ended up going last. I hate waiting in long lines. And I sometimes spontaneously rush to get the things I want even though I was told to wait.
I struggle with the verse.. I waited patiently for the Lord. But I often find myself in that situation. Learning to be patient isn't something that I enjoy but I'm slowly learning that you can find happiness and even contentment while in a time of waiting.
So, when I find myself being inpatient, I pull out my jewelery from my mother in law and reminded how beautiful things come out of being patient.
