Day Off/On

Doctor appointment!!!!
Trip to Red Bluff for office work,
Home!!!!!!!!!!TO CLEAN!!!!
In the words of my sweet Leila, "Clean dis Messy house up!! Dada Said."
.
I wish Leila were here to help, she could fly around like an angel with her white petticoat on. She actually does quite well at cleaning.

My daughter chooses a word a year. Well I thought and thought and all I could come up with is 

PATIENCE!!!!!!

I think that word is going to come into play a lot this year.

I have already been faced with two patience test.
Or was it three?
All happened Yesterday. I think my patience was being tested.

Standing in line for my pharmacy med, behind 12 other people.
OH how I wanted to say Forget it, I am not desperate, but I stood and thought of patience.
I leaned my tired head on a rack and wanted to close my eyes and sleep. I was exhausted from the stress of the day.
I had on my boots, my toes hurt, I  had worked for 5 hours and seen my doctor at 10 am and it was now 6 PM. Long Long day in town.
Patience, Patience..

The lady I befriended now wants my Entire attention.
I work and can not just visit. I can visit some and that is OK. however I think she was offended because I did not give her my undivided attention.

Preface:::
(Before this communication, I had spoken to her at two other displays, I was giving breaks so I was all over the store)

She approached me , "Sue I am concerned."
Me, "Pat are you OK, what is wrong?"
Pat  "Have I  done something to offend you?"
Me with eyebrows shot up, look of confusion on my face.
 "What? Why are you asking that? I have no reason to be offended and I DO NOT get offended easily."
I wanted to add, "but I am now."
Well I guess I had not given her enough attention. And that will not change.
She can come in eat and chat and walk on as always.
I refuse to hug her every time or make do over her.
I am not easily held onto. Just ask anyone who knows me, "NO ONE owns me but God!!"
I am my own person.
NO
Wait I am a child of God so I must continue to show compassion.
Patience Patience!!!!

Later as the day ended,  another demo lady was having words with a boss. I stayed on the edge until I could quietly plop down and sign my time card to go home.
She called him some choice names, I again just squirmed in discomfort.
Patience, Patience.

My lips and mind are sealed to the trivialities of life.
I just want to live and let live and profess my Love of God in all Things I do.
Watch how I live!!!!! I am not ashamed of my life, my laughter or my Love for people and things.
But I am me, the one God created in his image. I must have patience.

Hebrews, 10:36

For you have need of patience,

 so that when you have done the Will of God,

 You may receive what was promised.
