Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
1Corinthians 13:4-7
These are not new verses for any of us I'm sure. But these are such simple instructions although they are not always easy to do. "Irritable" is a word that really stands out to me today. Some days I feel like everything around me is irritating and so often I think that it is tied to patience. When I'm irritable I'm usually trying to do way too many things. Time to slow down and remember to enjoy each moment rather than letting myself get so wound up and irritable that the small things in life are missed.
