One of the great challenges for me is patience. I can be patient when everything is going my way, but that is not patience. I need to practice the “slow to wrath” part of my life.

I don't always experience this, but today, I'm going to celebrate that
it is finally happening to me. 

I was sitting there drinking my coffee and anticipating my cheeseburger
and fries lunch when the waitress came and put a plate on my table in 
front of me. 

When I saw that plate, I gasped in horror. I've never seen such a
terrible plate of food in my life. 

How can my day get any worse? 

In the center of that plate before me was some of the worst vegetables
I've ever seen—broccoli. The fact that this waitress brought me a plate 
with broccoli made me realize my day was not improving yet. 

While I was gasping, the waitress turned around, started gasping, and
said, “Oh, I'm sorry. That's not your plate; that's for the table on 
the other side of you.” 

Finally, my real plate came, and as I ate, I thought of what a snarky
day this has been. What is going to happen between now and when I get 
home? 

Where are my Apple Fritters when I need them? 

As I was driving home I was reminded of of a verse of Scripture. “He
that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty 
of spirit exalteth folly” (Proverbs 14:29). 

One of the great challenges for me is patience. I can be patient when
everything is going my way, but that is not patience. I need to 
practice the “slow to wrath” part of my life.
