| We can become impatient with long lines in busy stores. |
Galatians 5:22-23 gives us a list of the fruit of the spirit:
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control.
Oh, wow we embrace the love, joy, peace, goodness, etc. but
that patience word…ooh, that’s not so pleasant in most of our minds; along with
the self-control, of course.
But I think those two go together—because patience requires
restraint.
A few days ago I was a victim of my own impatience in a
check-out line at Wal-Mart. The store was busy and the lines were long. Only
half the cashiers were open as well as the self-check. I searched for the
shortest line and went to the Express line because I only had a few items.
