Patience: Sensitive Patience
A train was filled with tired people. Most of them had spent
the day traveling through the hot dusty plains and at last
evening had come and they all tried to settle down to a sound
sleep. However, at one end of the car a man was holding a tiny
baby and as night came on the baby became restless and cried
more and more. Unable to take it any longer, a big brawny man
spoke for the rest of the group. "Why don't you take that baby
to its mother?" There was a moment's pause and then came the
reply. "I'm sorry. I'm doin' my best. The baby's mother is in
her casket in the baggage car ahead." Again there was an awful
silence for a moment. Then the big man who asked the cruel
question was out of his seat and moved toward the man with the
motherless child. He apologized for his impatience and unkind
remark. He took the tiny baby in his own arms and told the tired
father to get some sleep. Then in loving patience he cared for
the little child all through the night.
