Fingerprint Friday

I have a hard time being patient with my kids.
Especially when they want to help in the kitchen.
I'm a control freak in my kitchen.
See, my kitchen.
I really am.
I get cranky and crabby when someone wants to help me.

Jobie especially likes to help.
Guess he's still too young to realize how awful I get.
The older two rarely show interest.
Pretty sure I've scared them off.

So, patience is something I am working on.
I tell my kids all the time:
Patience is a virtue.
No wonder I have to repeat it often.
I'm not even listening to myself.

Lead by example.
Oh, so hard to do sometimes.

Ecclesiastes 7:8
and the patient in spirit is better than
the proud in spirit.

Each week Beki at therustedchain hosts Fingerprint Friday and uses a song by Steven Curtis Chapman as a springboard. Join in. It's a great way to be reminded of God's presence.
