Impatience

I had another experience of highway travel in America. I find it hard to believe the lack of patience you see in our people. The worst part is that it slows everybody down. From Richmond to Fredricksburg yesterday we had multiple stops and slow downs with no apparent cause. The highway could easily handle the volume of traffic but you have one person hit the brakes hard because someone has cut them off and you can just watch the brake lights go on and ther whole highway come to a screeching halt. After stop and go once again the speed would creep up until we were agin moving along well until the next time the brake light paralysis occurs. If people showed patience in ;if not just on the road but in life in general many logjams would be eliminated completely. Life would move evenly and in peace. The saying patience is a virtue is profound and yet I think too simple for people to take seriously. Patience however is a God lesson. We are meant to be imitators of Christ and how patient was God with me. i know I still test His patience. Patience is one of the lessons God insists we learn. If we don't we will continue to need it.
