Never pray for patience

Right now I am waiting on some tires to be put on my car. When I pulled into the shop I was the only one here. Somehow there is a car in front of me now and my car I still waiting. It is at times like this that I wonder what I should do. In all fairness to me I was here first. And from what I can see there is no reason that anyone should be Infront of me. Add to that the fact that I have places to be, family to see and things to do.
I guess I don’t know the whole story though. Maybe the car in front was left here last night and he is getting to it first thing in the morning. Maybe he was having something else done to. Maybe God is just trying to teach me patience.
I don’t remember praying for patience. But I guess it’s a lesson I still need to learn. If not I wouldn’t be sitting here frustrated writing this post.
What do you still need patience with?

yesterday at Sams’ club the lines were really long…well, the employees do this cool thing where they use a scan gun and scan all your stuff before you get to the front of the line…the cashier punches a couple of buttons to bring up your items list, you swipe the card and off you go…well, this didnt’ work so well because while they were scan gunning my stuff, the line started moving and two eager shoppers cut right in front of me…so i had to wait anyway…but i didn’t get mad, they didn’t see me standing there. patiences is a virtue…one that i don’t like
