Fruits of the Spirit, Patience

Today's study was on patience. The bible story was on how a king forgave a servant his debts, but then the servant did not forgive another servant's debt. Jesus said that we need to be patient and forgiving to others or God will treat us harshly. We need to be ready to forgive when something happens, and of course it will happen.

My job certainly has days where I am tired and not happy with the kids when they decide to make bad decisions. The most important thing for them to know is that even though they made a bad decision, they are still loved and that they will be forgiven. You really have to be patient with kids or you will constantly be upset with them. Always remind yourself, is this behavior a mountain or a molehill. You still need to train them up right, but do it with patience and love.
