We can be walking witnesses and standing sermons to which objective onlookers can say a quiet amen.
Neal A. MaxwellPatient endurance permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord and our faith in His timing when we are being tossed about by the surf of circumstance. Even when a seeming undertow grasps us, somehow, in the tumbling, we are being carried forward, though battered and bruised.
