Word Study Wednesday

My husband tells me all the time that I have ZERO patience.  He says, instead that I stood in the cute line twice!  All joking aside, I do want to get better at this patience thing because it is a fruit of the spirit and it will help me to be more like Jesus.

patience is defined in Webster's 1828 dictionary as:

1. The suffering of afflictions, pain, toil, calamity, provocation or other evil, with a calm, unruffled temper; endurance without murmuring or fretfulness. Patience may spring from constitutional fortitude, from a kind of heroic pride, or from christian submission to the divine will.

I am no where near this right now.  

2. A calm temper which bears evils without murmuring or discontent.

I am no where near this right now.

3. The act or quality of waiting long for justice or expected good without discontent.

I am no where near this right now.

Anyone else?
