Love Challenge #2

So, it is time for the next love challenge. I have decided to pull the next few weekly challenges from the Love passage in the Bible.
1Corinthians 13 v 4 - 7. It reads:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

The motivation for this week's challenge is the very first statement of this passage-
"Love is Patient".

So, this week is all about extending my patience. The definition of patience as taken from dictionary.com is

"the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like"

The key - without complaint. This is going to be interesting. So quite honestly, I am really mad that my hubby dearest has yet again forgotten to put the trash out. Hmm...without complaint, I shall do it myself when the little one takes a nap. I guess thats a start.
Its going to be a long week!

Join me in this challenge. Some ways to practice patience:
- do not raise your voice, no matter what (that is going to be a tough one fore me)
- walk/ drive away from a provocative situation- be that your spouse, room mate, or a rash driver.
- spend sometime daily thanking God for all the good in your life. It is hard to lose your patience when you are in an attitude of gratitude.

Got love?
