I (Daddy) told Jacob at least 100 times, it seemed, to go brush his teeth before bed. When he finally started going to do it, he was moving very slowly towards the bathroom. I grew impatient and told him to hurry up. He continued slowly. I made another comment to him emphasizing how slowly he was going, to which he replied somewhat in defense, "But I am going!" His rebuttal caused me to pause and think about what he was really saying-he was telling me in essence to recognize what he was doing right-that he was at least headed in the right direction, however slow his progress might have seemed to me. I need to work on my patience with the kids.

It makes you wonder how Heavenly Father feels, huh?
