GOD has given me the virtues of patience and gentleness.

I can wait around and sit down for long periods of time and feel no impatience whatsoever.

And I am quiet and gentle and I touch things gently. You might say I am as gentle as a lamb.

Isn't gentleness one of the virtues of Christ? That is actually one trait I have in large supply of. Bless GOD. Not that I am bragging about my own personal character or anything.

I'm with Going_Nowhere on this one.....

i realize this is a "light-hearted" thread, and perhaps what is meant is "traits"? As regarding "virtues", however, i don't believe that i am "virtuous", etc.

A trait can be a virtue if used in the proper way. I am well organized and efficient, which is of great benefit to others as well as to me.
i find those traits inspiring. :)

I don't know what one might call this but, if I see that something has the potential of causing stress in my life, I do away with fast. Be it in work, home or school etc. I like to live as stress free as possible. I know it will not always be possible but still try to avoid stressful situations if I can help it.

I am really great at humility.

Me too. I used to be very conceited, but then I got straightened out and now I'm one of the nicest guys around. :D

I thought that when we trust Christ as savior, he gives us his holy spirit and then he begins to develop virtues within us...

He directs much of that development to our 'gifts'.
