Day 9- To Be an Expression of Love

"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude." 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

Love is Patient

"Love is patient and kind." 1 Corinthians 13:4

I just have to ask. How is storing God's Word going?

Are you noticing a difference? Is it becoming addictive? Do you look forward to reading God's Word?

I hope by the end of these 20 days you will keep on going.

I also wanted to share one more thing with you.

Yesterday Dax and I were headed back to the clinic from Chick-fil-a and he was "dying" for his fruit. So I handed him some and he ate it, but then he wanted more. I told him he was going to have to wait until we got back to the clinic and then he could have his food. Well of course Daxie didn't like to hear that so he fussed for a little bit. So I said, "Dax you are going to have to be patient, just like mommy, daddy and nana are being patient.

And Dax responded, "Well mommy I don't have patience."

"Well you need to call Jesus and ask Him for some." I responded.

And to that Dax says, "Well mommy I can't do that, I can't have patience because patience makes my heart hurt."

Sometimes being patient is hard, and can even make our hearts hurt, but possessing patience is a wonderful virtue and characteristic of Christ.

Jesus thank You for Dax. Thank You for teaching us the importance of Your Word and the importance of being patient. Amen
