Why did God make patience one of the fruit of the spirit? Sometimes I think it was just to keep me frustrated! I am just kidding (sort of) but it is something that I struggle with. Today I went and played golf and we got behind four of the slowest golfers I have ever seen. They would stand over shots for what seemed like eternity and then hit 15ft into the woods. Most of the time in golf etiquite when there is a slow group they will let others play through and keeps the pace up for everyone.
I know it must be a reflection of my spirituality but it bothered me. I wish I were more patient at times but in certain cases it is difficult for me. When I was in Kenya on a mission trip they said, "Americans have watches, and Kenyans have time." It is very true for the most part that as Americans we are controled by watches and dayplanners and don't take as much time as we should to enjoy time.
I guess this blog is a confession of my impatience at times and a prayer that God would help me to develop the spirit of patience in my life.
