1 Corinthians 13:4
A 1st-grade teacher and her class of (30) 6 yr-olds, had watched it rain all day long. Trapped inside by Mother Nature, the 8-hrs of pent-up energy had taken its toll. Frazzled, the poor teacher began getting her students ready to go home. One after another, she put on rain gear/galoshes, until finally, she came to the last child. As she began putting on her galoshes, she noticed they seemed snug. She struggled/strained, pulled/tugged, grunted/groaned until finally, she got the galoshes on the girl's feet. Just as she finished, the girl said, ''These aren't my galoshes!'' The teacher was miffed.

She lets me wear them sometimes.''

A security guard came to him and said, ''Son, are you lost?'' He said, ''No sir. I am just waiting for my chewing gum to come back.''
Patient - Not in a hurry. Willing to wait. Unflappable. Having a long-fuse. Long-suffering - can be a friend!
FE - I read a few fascinating stats this week regarding driving and impatience as it pertains to red-lights:
- 93% of drivers say running a light is unacceptable, yet 1/3 drivers have run a red-light in last 30 days
- In fact, someone runs a red-light once every 20 min
- The result - there are an avg. of 165k accidents per yr caused by people running a red-lights
- These accidents are responsible for an avg. of 900 deaths and 140k in ...
