You are most loving patient, kind and gracious when you are aware that there is no truth that you could give to another that you don’t desperately need yourself. You are most humble and gentle when you think that the person you are ministering to is more like you than unlike you. When you have inserted yourself into another category that tends to make you think you have arrived, it is very easy to be judgmental and impatient.

It seems that every time our piano tuner John comes to our
house, he scolds me for waiting too long between tunings.
I agree with him that it should be done every six months,
but I don't really think about it until the the piano sounds
off-key. Last time he came over, I was on the defensive.

"If you would send out a postcard reminder like the dentist,"
I declared, "I would make sure to call you for an appointment
in a timely fashion."

Without hesitating, he replied, "From now on, when the dentist
sends you a postcard, call me."
