Longsuffering
Makrothumia (μακροθυμεω) – Longsuffering is that quality of self-restraint
in the face of provocation which does hastily retaliate or promptly punish; it
is the opposite of anger, and is associated with mercy, and is used of God.
The verb means: “to be patient, to bear with,” literally “to be
long-tempered.”
Luke 18:7; I Thessalonians 5:4, James 5:7; II Peter 3:9

wonderful reminder--but we must remember it is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that this is even possible:)
"long-tempered"
A good word for today.
Thanks Gregg!
Long tempered? not always easy Gregg but I do try.
Regarding my IE it was a compatability problem such a simple thing.
