Are You Frustrated?

Do you get frustrated over little things? I get frustrated when I misplace my phone or when a telemarketer calls. I was so frustrated with their calls that we cancelled our landline phone number; went to an unlisted number and now we get the telemarketer calls of the previous owner of that number.

Frustration raises it's ugly head when I can't find a particular pair of shoes in my closet, or can't find a missing sock or I have misplaced my glasses and an hour later find them... on my head. I loose patience when I try to tell something and forget what it was I was going to tell or when I can't find something I am looking for at WalMart because, once again, they have moved it. I get frustrated if my internet is out for two days and I can't check on my friends on Facebook.

Last night I was frustrated because I clicked on a channel on DISH and no matter what I did, I couldn't go up or down to change channels......it was stuck and who wants to watch a local weather channel 24/7? I think simplifying things would serve me well and probably eliminate a lot of my frustrations.

As I get older, many more things frustrate me. I can't move as fast as I once did and certainly can't think as fast. My mind tells me that I can do something and yet, my body says "I don't think so."
But, I am so glad that no matter how many mistakes I make, or how many sins I commit, or how frustrated I get, God doesn't get frustrated or loose patience with me.

"God is gracious—it is He who makes things right,
our most compassionate God.
God takes the side of the helpless;
when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me". Psalm 116:6 The Message Version
