Patience

how apt is the timing of the reading, just when the irritation level is hitting a max..

"have you noticed that God puts most of us, at some times in our lives, next to another person whose personal habits irrtate us? An obviously tidy person is put with an abnormally untidy one. A stickler for detail is put with a person who lives by vague generalization.... This is to develop Christ-like character in us, particularly patience, and to help us change for the good of other people.... The most spiritual person is the one who accepts irritating things with patience, bearing with the other person in love, not painfully resigning and complaining!"
