Patience

There are times when my children show character traits that surprise me!

Last week Eli's show-n-tell was suppose to be something God created (love Christian Education).  He and Daddy decided he should take in one of our huge Sunflowers!  Everyone was excited to see what his class would think. 

 

Well when Eli got home, we didn't get much of a description from the class.  He said he showed it and let them each try a seed, but there wasn't much else to say.  Then a little while later, here is where I found him. 

Sitting on the back patio, pulling out each seed.

He was on a mission.  He carefully, and one-by-one pulled out every seed and determined if it was good or bad and bagged it up!

Besides the patience that it took to sit there after a long day of school - this little guy has determination.  He gets something in his head and he goes for it!

My prayer is that He will allow Jesus to fill his head with the right things - then go for them with GUSTO!
