Patience

According to Wikipedia the following is the meaning of Patience ":is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. Patience is the level of endurance one's character can take before negativity. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast".

It is very difficult to understand the real meaning of this word and more difficult to practice it. It is amazing how we get tested on a daily basis to be patient. When we go grocery shopping and we have to wait in line st the register. Or when we are stuck in traffic or speeding even on a day that we do not even have to work but yet we cut off the driver in front of us.

When we pray to God for certain things we want fast response and want our issues resolved instantly and when we do not get our way we suddenly loose hope, faith and patience... I am so guilty of all the above specially when people treat you like you are not capable to complete the most simply tasks and insult you by doubting your knowledge like your boss....lol I am still thankful I have a job but oh boy! it is a challenge to be patient with her.

After loosing my two little angels makes it a little harder to be patient but I just pray to God that I will recover some of the patience I once use to posses :)
