And, Lord, let us remember that there are two groups of people who don't have enough time...the very young, and the very old.
Grant the young Your gift of patience, and the old your gift of peace and forebearance; that peace that passeth all understanding, and that forebearance which reminds them, as did Job, that He IS, and the harvest is assured.
