P is for Patient

P is for Patient.

A scary word. If we pray for patience we are sure to meet lots of situations where we need it.

Sometimes we need to be patient in waiting for something to happen.

Sometimes we need to be patient with someone else.

Often we are not very good at either.

But God is patient with us as we stumble along, make mistakes, get turned around, and are just plain stubborn. He picks us up, dusts us off, forgives us, and sets us on the right path again. And again. And again.

Patience. Something we never seem to have enough of.
