THE PATIENT IN SPIRIT

Photo provided by Janie Purser

A good name [is] better than precious ointment; 
and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.
[It is] better to go to the house of mourning, 
than to go to the house of feasting: for that 
[is] the end of all men; and the living will l
ay [it] to his heart.  Sorrow [is] better than 
laughter: for by the sadness of the 
countenance the heart is made better.
The heart of the wise [is] in the house of 
mourning; but the heart of fools [is] 
in the house of mirth.  [It is] better to hear 
the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to 
hear the song of fools.

Ecclesiastes 7:1:5
