Patience

We are doing the 1998 Beth Moore study on the fruit of the Spirit.  She reflects on two Greek words to describe patience.

Hypomone= endurance,  which  is  putting up with things or circumstances and is inspired  by hope

Makrothumin= forbearance or long-suffering  with people and is inspired by the Holy Spirit

When you put these two together you get patience.

So, here I am studying about patience.  I think I may be learning  and then life happens.  I get to a traffic light and it takes longer than I think it should.... 30 seconds.  We take the kids to get Ice cream and the server takes for- ever...7 minutes. That's just tonight.  I think that I have a long way to go.  My problem is I pray for patience,  but  I want it now,
