I have heard so many people say, "Don't pray for
patience. Then God will give you hard times to make you more
patient." I know those people are joking, somewhat. Still, I
do pray for patience. I believe that I have the Holy Spirit inside of
me. The fruit of the Holy Spirit are Love, Joy, Patience, Kindness,
Goodness, Faithfulness, and Self Control. So, I believe that I have all
the patience I can ever need right inside of me. So, how do I get it
out? Prayer, choices, tapping into that deep sense of peace and patience,
endurance and faithfulness. I pray, "Lord, help me walk in the fruit
the Spirit which you have placed inside of me."
Now, I'm sure everyone that I know would tell you I am a very patient person, yet not perfectly patient. That is why I am writing about patience. Lately, my patience has been running thin. I don't seem to have the time to really answer the ones I love in the most loving way that I could. I need to take more time for an appropriate response. I know I have been short with my dear hubby. I just need to get some major projects done before we can move in our camper again.
Once I get that done, it will be
better.......but what about today.
Do I sacrifice today for
tomorrow?
What if there is no tomorrow?
Or what if tomorrow is as
crazy as today was?
I need to remember that I will never have today
again. I know I got a lot done, but did I sacrifice the patience I needed
to have for my loved ones for completing a project?
Yikes, I guess I am setting myself straight.....I will try to apply it to tomorrow....
