Sitting here at Max and Ermas in Oaks PA. I realize that my patience could use a little work. I am pretty annoyed at the fact that I sat here for a good ten minutes before anyone noticed that i was here. I was just about to storm out in a huff, making sure to let EVERYONE know how disgusted I am with the shoddy service, when not one, but two wait-people stopped by like "is anyone helping you". Duh! (do i look like i am drinking a soda right now?)
We are often reminded that patience is a virtue. In fact the Word tells us that patience is a perfecter. As a spirit filled woman of God, shouldn't i aspire to patience even in my every day life? In this society of 'right now' please and thank you, our patience apparatus is malfunctioning in a major way. I want what i want and I want it right now! And if you make me wait too long I just might have to talk to your manager and get you fired, or worse yet killed (OK, I realize it's probably not quite that serious).
As I sit here looking at the neon sign that reads "hot cookies NOW" I realize that there are some things more important than getting served in a hurry. One of them is having the opportunity to think things through, realize where I need work, and to have the opportunity to share those thoughts with you.
James 1:4 (King James Version)
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Thanks for listening.
This is how I feel a lot of times, but this is so true. I think everyone needs to work on having patience every now and again. ESPECIALLY in situations like that
