One of the things we did around the place on Monday was to move some dirt into the low place in the road. About the same time I found some kids' tools in amongst the other garden tools. The kids really enjoyed helping. Sure, I could have gotten more done faster without their help. But I try to remember patience. The point isn't always to get things done, but why it's worth doing and who it's for. And I really want to encourage my kids. Not just in that work is okay, but that it's good to spend time with the family, too.
