Love is Patient

I've changed the scripture on the right sidebar.

I've been thinking about this scripture for a couple of weeks, ever since I read these two articles:

Patience (from the lexicon in my Key Word Study Bible) means to suffer long as opposed to being given to hasty anger or punishment and to endure patiently as opposed to despondency. This particular word means patience toward people.

I've been asking God to give me grace to find things to be thankful about in situations that stretch my patience. I want to truly love.
