Patience

Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying using Our 24 Family Ways for Bible? Maybe I just love doing acrostics with the boys! This week, we have been focusing on patience. Good one for me as well, that one... I do come up with some of the phrases, the dictionary helps us and the boys offer suggestions as well. Adam mentioned self-controlled, Stephen mentioned perservering and Zac mentioned being calm. Patience is: Perservering with one another A calm person, self-controlled Tolerant and loving It is longsuffering Even-tempered, no matter what the situation Not worrying Capable of accepting delay with composure Enduring trying circumstances well I am certainly not all of these things by myself as my children know well. We had a time of prayer, asking God to forgive us when we did not act with patience and love. We also prayed that He would give us more patience with eachother. Part of the study was reading 1 Corinthians 13 - that great passage about love. Do you know what it says? The first thing it says is "Love is patient..." |
