Here are 7 ways waiting can help your growth as an All Pro Dad. 1. You see the little things. Each day our kids do things they may never do or say again. When we are in those waiting moments we have a chance to slow down and notice all the little stuff we normally would miss. 2. You develop patience. Instead of being anxious and angry, you can begin to build an endurance in the waiting. The more you wait with patience, the more patience you’ll develop. 3. You develop faith. Sometimes the thing you are waiting on is out of your control. Waiting on a doctor report. No matter what you do, how much you pace, you can’t change the report. But you can trust God that, no matter what the report says, He is in control and He loves you. 4. You learn to listen. If you’ll be still and listen while you’re waiting, you will hear and experience things you may have missed. Listen to other people, listen to your kids, your wife, even the tic tock of a clock! 5. You develop humility. Many times you don’t have any control over how long you have to wait. You are not in control. Realizing and accepting this develops your humility. 6. You gain appreciation. You can look around and see wonderful things. Whether you are looking out of your window at all of God’s wonderful Creation or just admiring the wonderful artwork your kids completed and hung on the fridge, you’ll appreciate what you see around you. 7. You gain clarity. Waiting gives you a chance to reflect on things and think deeply about situations you are facing. Instead of your mind being cluttered while you are on the go, waiting, listening, and paying attention can help you become clear on certain things. How are you doing? All Pro Dad
