Dear Lord, please give me PATIENCE, and I want it NOW!!!

That was one of the greatest prayers of all time. Picture this: you just finish setting your formal Thanksgiving table and little Jimmy comes in and spills purple grape juice on your white linen tablecloth!!! Really now, try to remain calm and patient. Or; it is a beautiful summer day and little Susie comes in from outside wearing her brand new designer shorts outfit that Aunt Tillie purchased for her birthday.  She comes in and is all excited about showing her friends her new outfit (and playing a little softball), she proceeds to run to the bathroom.  As she turns to go, her backside is totally grass stained!!!!!!  PATIENCE!!!   It is so hard to be patient in this hectic life we lead nowadays. I will truly pray for patience for you and me and the whole world. It would be a much nicer place if everyone were patient.
