“The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.”
Gross.
What did you guys think when you saw the word Patience?
When I think of it I see myself sitting tapping my foot waiting for...well, something. And I don't even know WHAT, but regardless of that, it's entirely too frustrating.
I have had to use a great amount of patience lately, and for some reason I feel I have come up short tonight.
“Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will run and not become weary.”
Isaiah 40.31
I see what it's saying, but it doesn't make it much easier. BUT I guess it means that God has important things to show me and teach me this summer. And I guess that's all I can lean and hold on to.
...but that doesn't mean I have to smile while doing it...
Does it?
:)
The word "patience" annoys me. So I guess I don't even have patience for "patience".
ReplyDeleteAnd I won't smile if you don't smile. Or maybe we should both just suck it up and smile :)
