Where is the focus of the world today.... material or eternal? I wonder if some people think there will be IPhones in heaven. My friend pointed out to me how our need/want of everything to be faster, just adds to our impatience levels. I agree and think we all have a little attention deficit in our systems.
If we help others, with the right and willing heart, then we will gain patience and understanding in more ways than one. It's all about taking the focus off of ourselves and onto another's true needs. 'Love one another' is not an option but a command and it's not followed by 'when it's convenient.'
Some people do help others and then when they need a hand, the too busy excuse comes into play. You will make time, if it's important to you.
