Are You Frustrated?

Do you get frustrated over little things?

When I read the postings on FaceBook or watch the news on television, I am reminded of how frustrated people can get over little things. People make mountains out of molehills; particularly political candidates. And, I'm not immune.
 
I get frustrated when I misplace my phone or when a telemarketer calls. We were so frustrated with those calls morning, noon and night, that we changed our telephone number and have it unlisted. However, apparently the people who use to have our number get those calls, too, so we continue to get some along. I'm frustrated when I can't find a particular pair of shoes in my closet, or can't find a missing sock. And, leave it to me to misplace my keys or, worse yet, my glasses. I loose patience when I try to tell something and forget what it was I was going to tell or when my internet is out for two days, etc.

Perhaps when something doesn't go exactly the way we think it should or our patience is fast waning, we need to stop and thank our Heavenly Father for all of the things that are going right in our lives.

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
