Need prayer please

[rodheadlee]

I could use some prayers for patience. I let my anger get the better of me last week and I'm having a hard time repenting of it. Had surgery back in January everything went fine but I wasn't allowed to lift more than 10 lbs for 8 weeks. That's just not who I am. I made it to the end of my time. But my patience is shot. Thanks I appreciate you all.

I'm glad you made it the 8 weeks, yay! Maybe think of it as a rest that you deserve!! Or deserved!

That's true but my lack of patience was running into other parts of my life. I almost got myself thrown into a Mexican jail last week for mouthing off. Not a good look for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Sorry it’s been rough, Rod. Glad to hear you’ve recovered. Prayers for you and yours, of course.

Prayers for you my friend.  And a link to a song from a concert in the 80's (actually this is just the second half of the song); this one always lifts me up a notch or two:

Good choice, manol…glad you mentioned them, I need to go get a good dose of uplift myself….

This is the one that always cheers me up…

Come along with me
Down into the world of seeing
Come, and you'll be free
Take the time to find the feeling
See everything on its own
And you'll find you know the way
And you'll know the things you're shown
Owe everything to the day

See the carpet of the sun
The green grass soft and sweet
Sands upon the shores of time
Of oceans mountains deep
Part of the world that you live in
You are the part that you're giving

Come into the day
Feel the sunshine warmth around you
Sounds from far away
Music of the love that found you
The seed that you plant today
Tomorrow will be a tree
And living goes on this way
It's all part of you and me

See the carpet of the sun
The green grass soft and sweet
Sands upon the shores of time
Of oceans mountains deep
Part of the world that you live in
You are the part that you're giving

See the carpet of the sun
The green grass soft and sweet
Sands upon the shores of time
Of oceans mountains deep
Part of the world that you live in
You are the part that you're giving

See the carpet of the sun
See the carpet of the sun
See the carpet of the sun
See the carpet of the sun

Thanks everyone.

I had great patience driving up California today. 740 miles, traffic,  rain,  bit of snow and no temper tantrums. Thanks!
