I captured loveliness in a moment of rage. This beautiful photo was created by mistake (I added this quote later) whilst things around me were crumbling. The kids and I were in the parked car and Kam made some comment that just pushed my button (he has a tendency to do that) and I lost it. I whirled around to hurl venomous words back at him and immediately regretted it. In the seconds it had taken me to lose my patience with him my finger had somehow grazed the shutter button and captured this magical light that I can only imagine is Grace itself. Sometimes I find myself caught up in the madness of life and forget these simple words... the patient path is the fastest way. It is so true. When I am in a rush for results I get nowhere. It is only when I slow down and stay in the moment that true progress is made. I want patience in my relationship with my son. I want to be a good role model for him. I have wanted this his entire life, yet I feel that I have failed time and time again. Instead of getting caught up in the past though, I must remember how far we have come. I must have patience with myself as well as him. This is the fastest way to realize my goals. When I discovered this photo I knew that it was a sign to make adjustments in my own attitude and practice patience. I'm going to keep these words and these thoughts forefront this week to remind myself just how powerful Grace can be.
