Remember the saying, “Patience is a virtue?” It’s also the third fruit of the spirit.
We could all work on this a bit, eh?
What about “delayed gratification?” It’s a tough concept to understand; even for mature folks!
Anyhoo, three weeks ago, Tatum suggested she wanted a new watch. I told her she could get one with her allowance for about $10 if she wanted one like her Paw Patrol one. She agreed. However, she only had $5 in her “Spend” envelope. She did not want to use her “Save” or “Give” money. I told her if she could wait two weeks, she’d have enough money to buy the watch.
Well, guess what Sunday was? THE DAY OF $10 in her “Spend” envelope! She put off the buying of anything until today.
We searched on Amazon for the perfect watch. Upon picking one out, she ordered it with me and now she has to wait until Thursday for it’s arrival.
It pays to wait.
So proud of you, Tot!
