Webster says patience is an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay. Yep that describes where I need to be. I am not.
My most nonspiritual moments are in the car when people are just in my way. By law they are not suppose to be in the lane they are in driving as slow as they are driving. Maybe I should buy a blue light and a pad of tickets to issue. What good is passing a law if the law is not going to enforce it. That is my nonspiritual patience.
My daughter has reminded me on occasion that maybe I am missing being in an accident up ahead when the car I am fussing about is in my way.
Another concept is I have left God. God is not in frustration. He is only in unconditional love. I shift to a nicer person when I see it is an older person. I think oh, it is just a grandma or grandpa that is afraid to drive to fast. I show them unconditional love but no one else.
This leaving God concept is what bothers me. I am spiritually practicing turning any frustrations, anger or fear over to God just as soon as I experience it. I no longer like to stay in the drama that goes along with using my ego self. I am starting to catch myself before I let the negative emotion take me over and ruin my hour, my day or my week. That is progress.
It burns more calories to be happy and laugh than it does to be mad and rant and rave or hold it in. Holding it in causes disease because the damaged cells in my body are released. This is not how God intended me to be. He wants me to be happy, joyous and at peace. Happiness creates endorphins that release good cells and they reginerate healthier in your body.
The only way this is going to happen is continuing to practice patience when in a situation confronted with what I PERCEIVE as frustration or delay.
God is only in the moment and the rest is all ego... Today I will practice staying in the moment and loving all the opportunities of people, places and things that God has put in my life. I have something to give to them and they do to me also. GO GOD....
