Endurance

Endurance is strength to endure something. Have you ever tried to endure something very hard until the end? or....easily saying " I give up and quit from this situation!" Problems are friends of life, aren't they? Although your life is so smooth as if there were no single problems come to say hello in your life, but suddenly you find your son has made quarrel with his friend, your dog chased your neighbour's kids that make them cry,your data in PC lost or some other trivial things that make us dealing with unexpected thing. They are also problem and we often mumble or be furious because of such situation.
Today I get three pieces of cake from an old lady that has been suffered from cancer for 5 years. We pray together for her further cancer treatment. She is very happy and she said that God is so good to her that He has allowed her to still alive for the last 5 years. Now, she pursues more God mercy for other coming years. Honestly, I try hard to understand how she is able to change her paradigm from bad situation into merciful one! Curse into blessing!
I stare the cakes on the table and reconstruct our meeting, remember whatever she said to me, her eyes full of bravery and spirit to life and her faith to God as her life source. The last sentence before leaving that I still remember is, " I can endure it because God has endured much more that I do." Stil, I take a cake and hope that I will get for more other from her next time.
