TEACH ME THE WISDOM OF PATIENCE
A LETTER TO Heaven
Dear God of Great Patience,
I feel like I’m at the ragged end of a rugged day. It started out badly and kept getting worse until finally, I just blew up.
I woke up tired and temperamental this morning. There wasn’t any orange juice for breakfast for the second time this week. How difficult can it be to keep orange juice in plentiful supply?
I stopped by the drugstore to pick up a prescription, and already late for work, I backed into a car behind me, crushing my taillight. I dented the bumper on the other car, and the driver was very angry. It took forty-five minutes to complete the police report.
When I got to my desk, I realized that I had missed the first thirty minutes of an early meeting that my boss had scheduled yesterday. The discussion concerning my department was completed before I ever entered the room.
And finally, when I picked the kids up from the baby-sitter this evening, my son had been bitten by another child and had a bruise on his arm.
I’ve told You all of this so that You’ll understand why I yelled at my spouse when I found out that supper was going to be late.
Lord, I consider myself a patient person, but everyone has limits, and I felt I had reached mine. I’m truly sorry that I lost my cool, and I know that it was wrong. How can I keep from losing my temper under circumstances like these? I really want to learn patience, Lord.
Your
