Thoughts on Patience

To quote my mother: God, please give me patience.... any time now would be good....

Also... A song I had to learn when I was younger:

There was a snail called Herbert who was so very slow. He caused a lot of traffic jams where ever he would go. The ants were always getting mad and the crickets, they would fume. But herb would just poke along and sing this little tune:

"Have patience, Have patience, Don’t be in such a hurry. When you get impatient, you only start to worry. Remember, Remember that God is patient to, so think of all the times when others have to wait for you."

When Herbert was much younger he often got in trouble, forgetting that he was a snail he did things on the double. He crashed through spider webs and with crickets he’d collide. Till one day Herbert’s farther took his speedy son aside:

"Have patience, Have patience, Don’t be in such a hurry. When you get impatient, you only start to worry. Remember, Remember that God is patient to, so think of all the times when others have to wait for you."

As you can well imagine, there is a moral to this tale. Some of you may find yourself behind a creeping snail, so if you get impatient and are easily disturbed, think about this little song and take a little tip from Herb.

Anyone ever hear this? Just wondering. - ClarkEvans

It's from a Protestant Christian (Methodist?) children's musical. Either "Kids Praise" or "Down by the Creekbank" I think. (I was in that number, but I didn't play the snail.) I would like to add that a particular application of this is design, then code (hopefully). --BenKnowles
