A few years ago, my husband was driving with my son, who at the time was 3 years-old. My husband saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. He showed my son but he couldn’t see it. See, my son was too young to understand what a rainbow was. He kept asking him, “Where is it, Daddy? I can’t see it!” He wanted to see it so bad but he couldn’t, because he didn’t know what he was looking for. You sometimes have to really focus in the sky and know what you are looking for to see a rainbow.

The other day I had a major moment- one of those “oh my, where is time going” moments. I was playing with my boys at the park, feeling really tired and a bit over-heated. My 15 month-old wanted to climb up on the equipment that I wasn’t sure about. As I helped him, I suddenly flashed back to when my now almost 5 year-old was making the same attempts. 

We have an area in our yard that we don’t see very frequently. Last year one of our little boys played in it constantly so we kept it up very well. This year he is playing in a different area of our yard. The other day we went back to the old area and realized it was being overtaken by weeds- massive ones!

Usually when I drive, I am in a hurry. But a couple of years ago I read a book about patience (The Power of Patience- a GREAT book by the way!) and I started driving a little differently. I try to take my time along with taking some deep breaths. But the other day I was so frustrated! I was in a hurry and I noticed EVERYONE was driving slow! What was going on? What was wrong with everyone else??
