Love is patient, love is kind
This is one of the most beloved bible verses of all time and, certainly, one of my favorites. It's something that I try to remind myself of regularly, especially when I'm feeling irritated or impatient with my daughter or my husband. Unfortunately, we live in a world that desperately needs more love and patience. If everybody would try to improve how loving and patient they are, the world would be such a better place for us all to live in. I think, too often, when others irritate us in some way, we feel justified in lowering our standards in terms of the way we respond to and treat others. It's something that I struggle with, especially while driving! How much more beautiful the world would be if we could just be more patient, loving, and kind with one another.
