Storybox Playlist: Stories of Patience

Patience. Something we all have to learn — and something many of us continue to learn into adulthood. It starts with learning to wait for dinner to be ready or for someone to read your favorite story aloud or for a grandparent to arrive. As you get older, you learn patience while waiting for big milestones like a graduation, a first car, a wedding day, a birth, a promotion. Patience can also look like a gardener who plants seeds and waits for them to emerge from the ground. We hope you can connect with these stories and that they inspire you to have a little patience, too.
