Two thoughts on my heart.

1. 
Me: "God, why did you give me something so good, just to take it away..."
God:"Because I have something far  better in store for you"

I wouldn't see how great it was if He hadn't taken away the first thing.

So... being patient.

2.
My dad talked to me today about how we should pray as Jesus did, "Not my will, but your will be done."

But too often we get it mixed up and pray "Not your will, but my will be done."

I put these two thoughts together because they go hand in hand.
