As I was visiting a friend today, her daughter-in-law stopped over. She talked about an art class that she’s taking, learning to make stained glass. She told us all about the process, which is more complicated than I imagined. There is a pattern to make, an outline to follow, and sottering involved. I got lost when she was explaining wrapping the colored glass. It is even more challenging for her as she has an eye condition in which she sees doubles. The corrective glasses that she wears are effective for most daily living activities. However, for such intricate close-up work, she really struggles. Evidently her instructor even suggested starting over with her project. But, she is determined to finish what she is working on. I admired her patience, tenacity and perseverance.

I Found God today in a woman’s perseverance.
