A speaker in church today was assigned the topic of Patience. He brought up a very interesting observation. The word "patience" in Spanish is "paciencia." If you split that up into two words, it becomes, "paz" and "ciencia" which in English are "peace" and "science". Therefore, patience is "the science of peace"! If you think about it, it's really true! When we are patient, we feel at peace; we don't feel like we're running around worried and frustrated by life. If all the world were more patient, there would be less crime and fewer wars. Being patient encourages peace!
