a constant reminder

we are borrowing a van from our church for a few days, which is a HUGE blessing, however the van only has one slider and its not automatic.  This morning after Jacqueline got into the van she couldn't get the door closed; Brennan got out and helped her with it.  Once at the Junior High, she still had trouble with the door, and once again Brennan got out and opened it for her.  She said very grouchy, "I hate these doors, I just want our van back!" As Brennan was, again, closing the door he hollers out to Jacqueline, as she is walking away, "be slow to anger. . . ." Brennan's little phrase resonated in my heart today and was a great reminder that God is requiring of me "patience"  in all areas of my life.
