Yes, as was already said, you have chosen too low fee. Use one of the suggested services.

Next time Google current recommended fee first.

I have an Electrum wallet...I had some btc sent to it, on two occasions a day apart. BOTH transactions says to the left under date it says "low fee" and
it has a yellow triangle with a quotation mark inside of it!!!!

What does this mean, will my coins be confirmed shortly???  Please explain this situation....I hope to hear from you very soon!!!
That means you paid low fee and miners will ether take too mutch time to confirm it as it isn't on their priority list if you don't pay the fees to them.
It should ether be confirmed by waaay longer timeframe or if not then it should return to your address.
Next time pay higher fees.

Yes, you should know that higher fee means quicker confirmation. But still nothing is lost. There are many services (also in the services section of this forum) which can accelerate your transcation with no or minimal fee. I suggest OP to submit his tx id on any such site and hope to get it confirmed quickly.

If your coins are already send with low few than you have to wait for a very long time. These days tx confirmations are slow even with normal fee so you can imagine , how delay it can be with low fee.
If you can send us your tx id here, we can better see how much fee you applied and exactly how much time can it take to make it confirm.

Hi,

Exactly. Paying low fees implies much time to wait for confirmation...

If you make no mistake entering BTC adress, don't worry...it may take time.

But the most important thing to remember ! : if you have to re-install the Electrum Wallet, be really sure you download the good one on the good website : so many stories of people having downloaded the wrong one when you enter electrum on google...(you have at least one phising website).
Really really be aware of that.

The best cold storage for Bitcoin is Hardware Wallet like LedgerNanoS or Trezor...
