Spent a morning assembling a climbing frame for the grandchildren. It looked straightforward, the instructions were plain, and it should have been a two person job.
Unfortunately it turned out to need three of us, parts did not fit easily together, and at 5 minute intervals through the morning one or both of the kids (ages 3 and 5) would sweetly enquire 'Is it ready yet?'
I realised that patience was needed on both sides. The outcome was good, we got it up and running, and the kids love it. I think I'm sometimes like that with God though, continually asking 'when?, rather than waiting for His timing to work out.
