When I finished the Book of Mormon I decided to start over but take my time on it. Sometimes during Hannah's naps I will get on the computer and go to LDS.org and read my scriptures on there. As I was getting on today I saw an option called Study Helps. I figured hey why not? I clicked and there is an option called Guide to the Scriptures. In here you can click on a letter and look for a topic. I clicked on Patience and the first thing I read was this,
"Calm endurance; the ability to endure affliction, insult, or injury without complaint or retaliation."
Then it continues on with a bunch of scriptures all about patience. You can click on show references and it has other words that you can click and go to.
One of the scriptures I read while under the topic Patience was D&C 67:13
"Ye are not able to abide the presence of God now, neither the ministering of angels; wherefore, acontinue in patience until ye are bperfected."
What a huge roll patience has in our lives. I know I am not perfect when it comes to patience, but I have made an effort to continue to get better.
I am so grateful for all the resources we have to become closer to our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. Also to make us stronger and better in our lives. We are very lucky to have Prophet Thomas S. Monson as our Prophet to lead and guide us through this world as the Lord would have him do. He is a true Prophet and loves each of us dearly. I know the Book of Mormon is true, and we can learn so much from the scriptures if we take the time to study and learn from them. Which it is so neat that we have resources such as this one on the LDS.org website to help us with that. I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I am very happy to be a member of the true church!

What a good resource that study helps will be. Thanks for pointing it out. I think it's interest how you, mom and I are continuing our Book of Mormon study in a different way - our own way that works for us right now. You're taking it slowly from the beginning, mom is using a more random approach, and I'm starting from the end of the book and going forward, focusing on pondering the scriptures I've underlined. Our own way is working well for each of us.
There is nothing to teach us patience like parenthood. Maybe that is why Heavenly Father has such perfect patience with us. After all, who has more children than he has?
