Recently it seems like I've been led to work on compassion. I mean, opportunities to augment my compassion seem to be everywhere lately. What's your latest area of focus if you have one?

I could also say compassion, but since you already said it, I'll say patience. That old saying it true: if you pray for God to help you be more patient, beware! He will!

I have been like a well run dry. God was so good to carry me through the most difficult times of my life and let me still have a brain. I am recovering from the traumas I experienced and am standing in awe of the revelations I was allowed to have that lessened the hard blows. My Lord carried me, like in the Foot Prints.....yep, carried me and if anyone should be thankful for the knowledge just how merciful God is, it is me. I could never forget and know one day I'll walk those streets above.....for now I am focusing on thankfulness.

Forgiveness. It's always a difficult one for me. Lately, I've been working on it in multiple ways. There is one major incident that I still have to forgive and it's taken years. But I'm now to the point where I acknowledge to myself that it's something I need to forgive. So, I'm halfway there on that one.

Compassion is a great quality to have and I have to work on it all the time. My history in work caused me to harden my heart at times, when you work with the mental retarded you to be firm in you dealings with them. Lately I have had to work on anger, people pulling out in front of me. I will start cussing and then ask Christ to forgive me.

Sorry - long explanation of spirituality not existing deleted. ( <- bad attempt at humor).
I'm working on remembering that behind the questions and answers here are real humans that have real feelings and that I need to show the same courtesy and warmth that I do in the physical world.

I would say my best quality right now is keeping the faith under the stress of sitting in the hospital beside my husband in last stages of cancer. My faith is strengthened day by day as I study more and seek better guidance. (My Bible I use here at the hospital is on my computer and is very good).

The quality that I have been putting a lot of my focus in lately is my dreams. My dreams always seem to find there way to me even when least expected while I am awake.

Humility is currently my area of focus. Before I can grow and learn further and more into the image of Christ.

Focusing on good thoughts like Paul told us to in Philippians. But Jesus said in Lk 6:45.
45The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
Remember, we work with the Holy Spirit not apart from Him! The key to the Christian life is not trying but trusting! Not working but resting! (Resting in Him!) It's working out what He's working in us! That's why if He isn't in us or if we aren't working with Him, we can't be spiritual or good! It's not hard, it's impossible (without Him). Jesus is in us by His Spirit is the ONLY way!!
