Patients

One of my week points is patients...it always has been. This morning I was asked what is one thing that has changed you for the good in becoming a mom. My answer....patients. Since having had Tess I have become a more patient person....I still have a long way to go. Before Tess, I would get impatient with crying babies in restaurants....now it makes me smile. Before Tess, I would get impatient with mom's in line at the store who took "forever" because they had kids who wanted to help unload the cart....now I just lean back and think about Tess helping me someday. So many little things that used to bug me or cause me to be impatient no longer matter. I'm still impatient with other things. That's why this is the verse I picked for this week. This verse helps to remind me that I still need to work at being a patient person.

A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel. Proverbs 15:18
