patience

The Lord like to give us opportunity to develop virtues. That is why I believe that I still am acquainted with Matthew Peterson. Because I still don't know how to use patience with him. For instances he came over tonight and sat down on our couch while Nichole was vacuuming. He picked up a string threw it on the floor and said "Pick it up woman". I....didn't handle it well. I picked up one of our kitchen chairs and told him to pick it up...but really that was better than me just directly slapping him, right? I figured I was less likely to actually throw the chair so that is developing patience, right? Not like when I hit him with my shoe at church...yeah not one of my best moments either...
