                                            PATIENCE

 The word patience itself seems to indicate something other than it is.
 If looked up in a dictionary, you could find words related to it such as, "annoyed, calm or able to wait".
 Perhaps I thought I was patient and did not need to work on this, but, in closer looks at areas of need, I began to see that I am quite impatient.
 Why do they call a person under the care of a doctor a patient?
Is it because he/she has to wait for the doctor to see her, to examine her and make a diagnosis?
 Or maybe it is just the long wait in the waiting rooms that defines this word better.
 I can wait all day if I have to for children to play,run and get messy. There is no issue for me to deal with children or people who need care.
 So most people assume because of this that I am patient.
However, when it  comes to answers from God, on dear to my heart issues, I am not so patient at all.
 He is the one I should be patient with the most so in the end, I am not as patient as I thought.
