Be Patient
There were so few deer in Southeastern Minnesota when I was growing up, that the 'gun' season only lasted 2 days. It was absolutely unheard of for someone to 'pass' on a legal deer. Even a 'spike' buck was highly prized. When I graduated from college and moved to Montana, I took this perspective with me. I shot the first whitetail buck that I saw, not realizing that it was a long, beautiful fall and that I would have dozens, if not hundreds of opportunities for better bucks. Later that season I had to pass on a trophy Mule Deer, because I had already used my tag.
Sometimes the best course of action is simply to WAIT. I've had to learn this lesson over and over again in life. I've purchased cars and homes that weren't right, and then had to go through the whole process again. So often, in life wisdom says, "Wait" when everything in us is screaming, "I want a solution NOW!" Be patient, my friends, and you will be blessed! -Pastor Brad
